Go The Distance -from Hercules (Disney 1997)

Hercules (赫拉克勒斯) 雖然是一部迪士尼兒童片,但我覺得蠻好看的。影片結尾時的這首歌非常激動人心。為了聽這隻歌我把帶子倒了無數遍,直到在網上找到這個鏈。
赫拉克勒斯是宙斯與凡間女子阿爾克墨涅所生的兒子。招到宙斯之妻赫拉痛恨,她派出兩條可怕的毒蛇,爬進宮殿去殺害孩子。這時孩子顯示了神的力量,兩手各抓住一條蛇使勁一捏,竟把兩條蛇捏死了。後來赫拉克勒斯流落人間。在他成長過程中,不斷得到宙斯的神諭。他立誌要成為象父親一樣的英雄,重回奧林匹斯聖山神的行列。後來他殺死了九頭蛇許德拉等許多怪物。他問父親他有沒有完成任務,宙斯說我很滿意你現在所取得的成績,但你必須要讓自己成為一個真正的英雄(True Hero)。不久他找到了機會,他幫助諸神打敗了一群巨人對宙斯及奧林匹斯聖山的顛覆。因為他的赫赫戰績,諸神歡迎他重歸奧林匹斯聖山。這時他卻為了愛情決定留在人間,電影以好萊塢經典愛情故事的模式結尾。實際上後來他曆盡艱險,成為了人間戰無不勝的最偉大的英雄。可是因為穿上了妻子無意中贈送的受了詛咒的衣服,疼痛難忍,請求朋友把自己燒死。木柴剛被點燃,天上就電閃雷鳴,助長了火勢。最後降下一朵祥雲,將這位不朽的英雄送上了奧林匹斯聖山,得到了永恒的生命。赫拉寬恕了他,還把自己的女兒青春女神赫柏嫁給了他。

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
