Go The Distance -from Hercules (Disney 1997)

Hercules (赫拉克勒斯) 虽然是一部迪士尼儿童片,但我觉得蛮好看的。影片结尾时的这首歌非常激动人心。为了听这只歌我把带子倒了无数遍,直到在网上找到这个链。
赫拉克勒斯是宙斯与凡间女子阿尔克墨涅所生的儿子。招到宙斯之妻赫拉痛恨,她派出两条可怕的毒蛇,爬进宫殿去杀害孩子。这时孩子显示了神的力量,两手各抓住一条蛇使劲一捏,竟把两条蛇捏死了。后来赫拉克勒斯流落人间。在他成长过程中,不断得到宙斯的神谕。他立志要成为象父亲一样的英雄,重回奥林匹斯圣山神的行列。后来他杀死了九头蛇许德拉等许多怪物。他问父亲他有没有完成任务,宙斯说我很满意你现在所取得的成绩,但你必须要让自己成为一个真正的英雄(True Hero)。不久他找到了机会,他帮助诸神打败了一群巨人对宙斯及奥林匹斯圣山的颠覆。因为他的赫赫战绩,诸神欢迎他重归奥林匹斯圣山。这时他却为了爱情决定留在人间,电影以好莱坞经典爱情故事的模式结尾。实际上后来他历尽艰险,成为了人间战无不胜的最伟大的英雄。可是因为穿上了妻子无意中赠送的受了诅咒的衣服,疼痛难忍,请求朋友把自己烧死。木柴刚被点燃,天上就电闪雷鸣,助长了火势。最后降下一朵祥云,将这位不朽的英雄送上了奥林匹斯圣山,得到了永恒的生命。赫拉宽恕了他,还把自己的女儿青春女神赫柏嫁给了他。

Go The Distance -by Michael Bolton


I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
