Long Ago... Lyrics by Charlton Heston, Alan Menken

Hercules (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1997

[NARRATOR]
Long ago
In the far away land of ancient Greece
There was a golden age of powerful gods
And extraordinary heroes
And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes
Was the mighty Hercules
But what is the measure of a true hero?
Now that is what our story—
[THALIA]
Will you listen to him?
He's making the story sound like some Greek tragedy
[TERPSICHORE]
Lighten up, dude!
[CALLIOPE]
We'll take it from here, darling
