[PHIL]
You have given me hope, another chance
Now you must do the same thing for yourself
[HERCULES]
And what if I can't?
[PHIL]
Then we quit
Or we keep going
Both will hurt, but if you want to stop, we stop
Because we are a team
Listen close, my son
You can go the distance
It takes guts and heart
It's a different kind of strong
Though the pain's intense
It'll all make sense
When you go the distance
You'll be right where you belong
Think about it, huh?
[HERCULES]
Though I give my all, it is not enough
And I dared the fates to call my bluff
I'm a flop, I failed, which I can't ignore
I am doomed to be human, nothing more
'Cause it's all in vain, so why even try?
I am doomed to be human and to die
Somehow, I truly thought
I'd get home once I could prove my worth
In spite of how hard I've fought
All my dreams keep crashing down to Earth
People say I'm brave, they can save their breath
For the truth is I am scared to death
'Cause I can't go home, I am on my own
I've a tough facade, but I'm not a god
I am doomed to be human and alone
