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
To those who are saying that it is rushed: this was taken from her disney medley songs in one of her live concerts. That's the reason why it is not complete. The complete medley: go the distance, you'll be in my heart and reflection.
I remember the day I climbed Mount Ararat. I was alone with a few tanks of oxygen left, hungry & cold. For you who don’t know, Mt. Ararat is the Armenian mountain where the book of genesis says Noah’s Ark landed. I couldn’t do the last ~650 feet until I put on this song. I climbed & climbed with numb legs, a weak heart, out of breathe but I held on & there standing near the top of the world I felt my journey was complete. I took a glass bottle & filled it with snow from my summit & I have used a bit of that water to baptize all 3 of my children. My worst enemy was always myself but I always believed that inside me, somewhere anyway…..was great glory & a REAL hero…I planted that Armenian flag & I looked down upon the world & I knew that the mountain wouldn’t conquer me. To ALL those who are scared & feel alone, you are not! We ALL suffer & feel off…. Embrace the hardships as hard as it can be because it defines you & it turns iron into steel….God Bless you ALL.
How could someone compare Lea to Regine? Duh, she's Lea Salonga for pete's sake! It doesn't mean you're a bad singer if you didn't belt a song, you're a bad singer if you lack of emotion but Lea gave justice to this song, she didn't lack in emotion. She's great.
Lea sings the way Disney's characters sings, emphasizing the real meaning of songs. While others only sings to show themselves off. Lol funny those rats who says Lea is lame, you obviously know nothing about music.

Lea's version bespoke of grit, determination, resilience and hope and all broiled into one good story telling put in a song. Her tempo and tone is worth re-telling. No belting or impressive high notes. Just helluva of good storytelling, even to this date, 12/03/2020, still worth listening to.
Three years later, still phenomenal. No other female singer comes close when it comes to this song, although I probably haven't heard all renditions. :)
Just want to share, but when I was doing my Math assignment and listening to this with my earphones at the same time, I didn't realize that I fell asleep. So I don't know if it's the cause of Math or Lea Salonga's angelic voice.
For those thinking that she sang it in mediocrity. Not really. You rarely can find a singer who can really pronounce each vowels and consonants in such crystal clear way. Not only that, but, it is done in calm "version". But, still, perfect 👌 in pitch. In music, the notes are the sound waves amplifier of emotions. It delivers emotions and personalities to the hearer even if you aren't directly on hearing her in person. Every notes a person can vocally phonate has like hundreds to thousands way it can be done in vocal qualities. Proper selection of it is a must for a true prodigy in singing in compliance to how the singer wanted the song to be delivered to the audience. -A musical genius and a true vocal prodigy will completely understand what I mean

For me, Lea did a stellar job. she's one of the Philippines' pride. But I give this song to Regine. Regine's voice and version fit best in this song because of the theme. It's going the distance, this there has to be that climactic part just like that of Regine's. Lea did good but Regine snatched wigs in her version. She put a mark and owned the song. Just my 2 cents.
I prefer lea's version no hate here but i like this version coz she did not belted out the song but gave it a soft and tender rendition but i still love regine ...

As long as the message of the song is there, as long as I could feel the emotions, I believe everything will fall into its rightfull place. Technicalities matter. But the message and emotion of the song is the most crucial element of a song. Notice the difference? No kidding. Some people are like this. 😂
People always compare!! It is just to show that these people no nothing at all. If you are an artist or knows music well you guys won't compare you will appreciate everything.
oooooppppppps.............lea and regine both admire each otheer because they belong to different genre....lea loves regine and regine loves lea...whats ur problem......u just knew regine because u are so western.......
@yanyanredulla thats veyr unfair knowing that Regine represents the pop & Lea obviously represents the theatre world to comapre them both is dumb though they obviously have different take on this song and have different style. Their both great @ their genre......it will be a long time till the next Regine & Lea would come along or even be born its a matter of preference ....
I know I'm biased. It's just that i love their powerful vocal TOO much and they happened to be from the same country. No offense to any other country!!
Iba ang atake ni lea compare kay regine. First, si lea is more of an alto, si regine, soprano through and through. Pero still regine still comes up on top here coz may emotion and soul ang delivery
Thank you for the melody!!! And is so beautiful I need the melody cause I have practicals on music My name is sheena karylle quides And my school is O.B.Montessori center inc. Sta ana
@AIAStudiosV men regine? her voice in this song is killing my eardrums and most importantly . . . . she forgot the true meaning of the song . . cant feel any emotions when she sang this
many filipinos can speak english without our filipino accent...maybe because english is an easy language to speak..or because philippines had been a colony of USA...

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 it's 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 it's harms

wow ! what an amazing fullfilment sir :)
I love her rendition of this, I would love to sing this for something. C: she's very talented.
I don’t mind listening to Lea salonga just talk her singing…Glorious, like she is sent here on earth … her voice so enchanting
rendition, diction , voice, perfect!!!!!

[Go the Distance]
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 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
Back to this legendary masterpiece love Disney love her and her music since young - Oct 2022
So beautiful....
Yep :')
I love her singing this song!!!

Ang mahalaga .. Both of them given our country a Life Time Treasure Honor to the WORLD .. ! ~
Lea Salonga is my favorite singer of all time.
Every country in the world has talent!!! But I agree those two really are something:D This is probably my favorite female recording of the song.
This song got me tgough so much as a kid! You did beautiful job! Thank you!
Just want to share, but when I was doing my Math assignment and listening to this with my earphones at the same time, I didn't realize that I fell asleep. So I don't know if it's the cause of Math or Lea Salonga's angelic voice.
What song can Lea Salonga NOT sing!?!?!?
this one..it was a bad rendition......
SHE CAN NOT SING Javaneese and sundanese song ../ Sinden jawa-sunda hahaha
Pooperscoo 101 A lot actually..all mariah songs,ROCK,she can't do rock...or RAP...Reggae...OPERA..uhmm,bang bang,chandelier,through the fire...
Satya Permana
..
Probably Metal
Yes, Lea! A female cover of this song, I just connect with it so much!
Wow... Perfect,,, diction and clarity of the words....

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through.
youre cool..very logical...100% correct.....hope everyone understand this........
LOL it's okay! I didn't think you meant it differently and yes they have beautiful voices!
Here is my cover of the song... thanks for listening. Xoxo Go the distance - Cover DISNEY Hercules
oooooppppppps.............lea and regine both admire each otheer because they belong to different genre....lea loves regine and regine loves lea...whats ur problem......u just knew regine because u are so western.......
Regine or Lea? I'll go for Lea...✌
We are not asking for your opinion. 😒
Please don't compare the two....they're both great singers..
oh and by the way philipino singers are awesome
Set speed to x0.75 for original tempo
@yanyanredulla thats veyr unfair knowing that Regine represents the pop & Lea obviously represents the theatre world to comapre them both is dumb though they obviously have different take on this song and have different style. Their both great @ their genre......it will be a long time till the next Regine & Lea would come along or even be born its a matter of preference ....
I know I'm biased. It's just that i love their powerful vocal TOO much and they happened to be from the same country. No offense to any other country!!
can there be a karaoke version of this
Iba ang atake ni lea compare kay regine. First, si lea is more of an alto, si regine, soprano through and through. Pero still regine still comes up on top here coz may emotion and soul ang delivery
@glowINGnotes17 yes there is :) only recently obtained this... shud i upload??
Thank you for the melody!!!
And is so beautiful
I need the melody cause I have practicals on music

I'm like picturing Jasmine singing this as she rides out on a magic carpet or Mulan singing this as she goes and saves China. Am I weird? :P
No! You're not weird for liking that idea at all! ;) =D
wired4time-I'm not sure if I asked you this before but is there a full version of this out there?
I love you
Can't we all just enjoy this for wat it is lmao lol I uploaded dis to share and inspire
Honey, if you didn't know that she was Filipino. I'm sure you couldn't tell
i don't know who i like better Regine. or Lea
@wired4time Please do!
CLEAN VERSION
YES! 'Tis me! ;P
i love charice version..
Dude just accept each others opinions i am for lea but i dont care if they say regine is better because thats their opinion
Mulan Sining after she leaves her family and begins for army training :-p
This is disney song, , why compare to other beltings? Disney movie songs are not for concert.
Evie!
@AIAStudiosV men regine? her voice in this song is killing my eardrums and most importantly . . . . she forgot the true meaning of the song . . cant feel any emotions when she sang this
wich concert is this?
a true disney voice😐
well, she's from the Philippines...
ooooooh i do not know.
many filipinos can speak english without our filipino accent...maybe because english is an easy language to speak..or because philippines had been a colony of USA...
@mariejose1072 couldnt have said it better :)
what key is this in?
WHAT KEY IS THIS IN
It's in E Major
