Young, Jonathan - 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 sayin', "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

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

  1. W.... M....

    I have often dreamed of a far off place
    Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
    Where the crowds would 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 would 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 loose hope, 'till I go the distance
    And my journey is complete, oh yeah

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

    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

    One of my favorite Disney songs! So glad you covered it!

  12. F.... V....

    This was literally Young Jonathan...

  13. d.... ....

    While amazing in its own right this is just one of those songs I can’t see as anything else other than being the original... the tempo isn’t meant to be fast paced , I feel as tho it’s meant to be soft and gentle to express the emotion Hercules is feeling.

  14. J.... B....

    Aww u were so... Young

  15. R.... M....

    Jonathan's gotta go the distance to find the next Pokémon on the app. Hehehe

  16. j.... o....

    Hey amazing songs you should do Penny on Mars the theme song or pen zero part time hero theme song

  17. C.... C....

    I'M CHEERING!

  18. B.... L....

    I urgently need a man like him...

  19. N.... .....

    gotta say this was good

  20. R.... P....

  21. N.... G....

    Who could ever dislike Jonathan he is the cutest! 😍😍😍😍

  22. R.... ....

    If you're ever worried that these older videos pale in comparison to the production quality you have now; they don't. They're amazing.

  23. R.... B....

    jesse pinkman

  24. L.... R....

    2014, when J. Young is the really young)))

  25. D.... Q....

    Seeing Jon with the hiking shorts and jacket and baseball cap made me realize...


    this song would have been perfect for pokemon!

  26. M.... S....

    THE BEARD IS SO SMALL!!!

  27. c.... ....

    Love this! You are amazing.

  28. R.... S....

    AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! <3 <3 <3

  29. D.... N....

    Interesting..

  30. L.... M....

    Really bad sounds to countryish 👎👎👎

  31. E.... L....

    Four years in the future and this is still one of my favorite cover by you.

  32. N.... V....

    the beard wasn't fully grown yet

  33. C.... T....

    Are you singing this song because youve been called a freak

  34. S.... K....

    Drew Hurst and I have the same fan!!!!! I got the white model though since it was like three bucks cheaper ahaha

  35. A.... W....

    First paycheck of the summer. Finally bought the Disney albums

  36. N.... F....

    What chords do you use

  37. G.... ....

    Oh my god! You were a baby in this video!

  38. B.... C....

    I love your videos and your channel.
    This is the only one I have seen that didn't match the other videos.
    Edited to add:
    It's a very good cover but not the direction I expected. Still very soulful and uplifting.

    It's so cool to see how far you have come, @Jonathan Young.

    You have an immense amount of talent. I'd love to collaborate on something in the future.

  39. T.... S....

    You sir, are a legend in rock/metal covers

  40. J.... M....

    Dude that key change!!!!!!!!!!

  41. L.... D....

    This has to be early on lol

  42. S.... R....

    I gotta be honest! Your voice is my favorite in the whole YouTube. It's so deep and beautiful! I love it!

  43. L.... ....

    Not feeling this particular cover, sad to say. I'd absolutely love to hear Johnathan do another cover closer to the power ballad style of Michael Bolton's masterpiece, though!

    That's a shame. I usually love your work.

  44. T.... S....

    Fun game: queue up the album version to play at the same time as this one. Sounds super cool cuz they have different vocal tracks (I think. I could just be having a stroke)

  45. S.... ....

    I always come back here.

  46. M.... ....

    1:17 Off to become a Pokemon master!

  47. L.... ....

    Re-watching your videos and realized... This video was launched at my birthday! I won an amazing gift at the time and wasn't aware of! Excellent work dude!

  48. O.... ....

    Going back and watching this video after so long, it is amazing how far you have come! You look so young in this video Jonathan....oh wait....lol!

  66. Z.... G....

    Growing up as a child, Hercules was my favored disney film, i dreamed of being a hero, getting the girl and making my own legend. As i grew up, i realized that i dont need fame and fortune to be a legend. So long as i live happy, and fully, i will be a legend on my own. You making this has made me happy and remember the fond moments of my childhood. Continue to do this kind of music my friend, you can definitely go the distance with this!

    To be honest when my brother had said this guy, Jonathan Young was making rock covers of Disney songs and I hate to say I was super nervous. I am such a nerd for the original songs but I LOVE what you did to them it is crazy. Disney and you should totally work together :)
