Hollens, Peter - Go The Distance Lyrics






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 every 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
'Til 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
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

    Would LOVE to see you do this song with Mathew Morrison!

  3. S.... B....

    Such Beautiful View Scenes Of The Stunning Gorgeous Background?

  4. S.... B....

    Peter Hollins Would Be So So So So So So So So So So So So So So So So So Perfect To Play As Flynn Rider in Tangled Remake And Hercules Has Been My All Time Favorite Beloved Disney Movies Of All Time?

  5. M.... P....

    I enjoyed this video mr hollens I wish I can do A cappella with you that would be a awesome wish

  6. M.... A....

    You have a beautiful voice. I used to lull my lil bro to sleep singing “you’ll be in my heart” so anything Disney is amazing for me. I look forward to everything else you do.

  7. M.... L....

    Love this rendition so much, but damn does the vlogging come in jarringly at the end. Wish there were a few more seconds of silence to appreciate the song before the talking cut in.

  8. L.... W....

    is the music download the full version of the song?

  9. L.... W....

    why did you cut it? i like the real beginning.

  10. C.... P....

    Where is this forest? Beautiful.

  11. R.... H....

    maybe you can do kiss the girl!!!

  12. D.... G....

    Beautiful!

  13. T.... M....

    I Love his music and the way that his music is done!!

  14. D.... ....

    "Go to Disney Land as much as often as you can"

    Must be nice. Great music, great voice. I only had one shot at Disney World when I was 6. Be thankful you lived where you do and parents who could afford it. Lucky guy :) Not to say you didn't work for it.

  15. R.... K....

    So beautiful, Peter Hollens! ; )

  16. C.... M....

    I would pay for a livestream concert from Peter and Evynne!!!!

  17. t.... d....

    I've always loved your voice I would love to buy your CD

  18. F.... D....

    you do this song better than the movie did! Well done

  19. A.... J....

    I wish I found this sooner, because this cover of my favorite Disney song made me cry from the memories of singing this when I was only 5 years old.

  20. B.... B....

    I love that song

  21. T.... W....

    Ok who took a video of me taking a walk

  24. O.... D....

    This song taught me to never give up no matter how tough life is

  25. L.... R....

    Inspiring

  26. E.... ....

    Awesome voice and production... congrats and keep doing this amazing work

  27. P.... ....

    I've seen the Google Translate Sings version so much, that seeing this makes me want a collab where they layer serious Peter Hercules with irreverent Malinda Hercules looking at each other like, "Why are you singing like that?"

  28. �.... �....

    круто бро!

  29. f.... s....

    Wow this is very good love it ❤️❤️

  30. K.... S....

    Hercules is my favorite disney film, and I love his cover so amazing in fact I would love if he made a whole disney album including this song and I wont say I am in love

  31. J.... K....

    As much as I think Peter is a great singer, I have to say the choice of background effects/beat/singing takes away from his greatest strength.

    I don't think anyone is here in the comments to say that Peter isn't a great singer, but I feel that his covers could be that much better if the vocal style matches the song. This is 99% directed at the background sounds. If the song has a more "pop" sound, then more energetic effects would go well with that. However with a song like this, the original song sounded so great because it was bold and regal. What I hear in this video is just a really great lead vocal with distracting beats taken from a hip hop song. Take a look at his cover of the Civilization VI theme. THAT was stunningly beautiful. I sort of clicked this video with the expectation of hearing that kind of style for a more classic song like this. Basically, the more iconic the song is, the less I enjoy hearing people play around with it too much. It's fine to have a personal style, but don't embellish it to the point where it clashes with the original style. If you are going to do something entirely different, then do a Jonathan Young method where you do a metal cover, but if you are going the a capella route, play the safer route. I feel that his stronger videos/songs are the ones that match the original songs style mote closely.

    Pardon the lengthy comment, but I just wanted to add my two cents to the discussion.
    Have a great day.

  32. J.... ....

    Very nice cover, of the song, I'm not a big fan of Disney, but every once in a while I'll hear one that sticks with me, and this is one of them, along with the songs come by Phil Collins in the Tarzan movie...

  33. I.... A....

    I love this song, i relate to it well. Hercules is my fav disney movie. Thank you for covering this song

  34. �.... ....

  58. D.... ....

    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 every 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 the road may wander, it will lead me to you
    And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
    It may 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.

  59. D.... ....

    Reminds me of a time when I actually thought I could go the distance 😢

  60. l.... ....

    cant help but sing this aloud!

  61. B.... S....

    I have often dreamed of a far off place
