No, no, no, no, no, no!

Watch out!

Nice catch, Jerkules.

Son.

This is the last straw,|Amphityon!

That boy is a menace!

He's too dangerous|to be around normal people!

He didn't mean any harm.|He's just a kid.

He-He just can't control|his strength.

I'm warning you.|You keep that-that-that...

freak away from here!

Freak! Yeah, go away!

Son, you shouldn't let those things|they said back there get to ya.

But, Pop, they're right.|I-I am a freak.

I-I try to fit in.|I really do.

I just can't.

Sometimes I feel like...

like I really|don't belong here...

like I'm supposed to be|someplace else.

Hercules, son...

I know it doesn't make any sense.

I have often dreamed

Of a far-offplace

Where a great, warm welcome|will be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer

When they see my face

And a voice keeps sayin'|this is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way

I can go the distance

I'll be there someday

If I can be strong

I know every mile

Will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere|to feel like I

Belong

Hercules, there's something|your mother and I...

have been meaning to, to tell ya.

But if you found me,|then where did I come from?

Why was I left here?

This was around your neck|when we found you.

It's the symbol of the gods.

This is it! Don't you see?|Maybe they have the answers.

I'll go to the temple of Zeus and...

Ma, Pop...

you're the greatest parents|anyone could have, but...

I-I gotta know.

I am on my way

I can go the distance

I don't care how far

Somehow, I'll be strong

I know every mile

Will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere

To find where I belong

Oh, mighty Zeus...

please, hear me|and, and answer my prayer.

I need to know:
|Who am I?

Wh-Where do I belong?

Huh?

My boy.|My little Hercules.

Hey, hey, hey.|Hold on, kiddo!

What's your hurry?|After all these years...

is this the kind of hello|you give your father?

F-F-Father?

Didn't know you had|a famous father, did you?

Surprise!

Look how you've grown.

Why, you've got your mother's|beautiful eyes...

and my strong chin.

- Hah!|- I-I don't understand.

If you're my father,|that would make me a...

A god.

A god. A god!

Hey, you wanted answers,|and by thunder...

you're old enough now|to know the truth.

But why did you leave me on Earth?|Didn't you want me?

Of course we did. Your mother and I|loved you with all our hearts.

But someone stole you from us|and turned you mortal...

and only gods|can live on Mount Olympus.

And you can't do a thing?

I can't, Hercules,|but you can.

R-Really? W-What?|I'll do anything.

Hercules, if you can prove yourself|a true hero on Earth...

your godhood|will be restored.
