The expression "the extra mile" refers to acts of service for others that go beyond what is required or expected. The expression probably comes from the Bible, when Jesus declares in his Sermon on the Mount, "Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two." (Matthew 5:41, (NASB))
The verse is a reference to the practice of "impressment" which, among other things, allowed a Roman soldier to conscript a Jewish native to carry his equipment for one Roman mile (milion = 1,000 paces, about 1,611 yards or 1,473 metres)—no easy task considering a Roman soldier's backpack could weigh upwards of 100 pounds (45.4 kg). The editors of the New Oxford Annotated Study Bible have suggested that going the second mile would perhaps spare another from such compulsion.
The Extra Mile – Points of Light Volunteer Pathway is a national monument in Washington D.C. Located adjacent to the White House, the monument is composed of 34 bronze medallions honoring people who "through their caring and personal sacrifice, reached out to others, building their dreams into movements that helped people across America and throughout the world".The medallions, each 42 inches in diameter, are embedded in sidewalks that form a one-mile walking path bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, 15th Street, G Street, and 11th Street, NW. Each medallion includes a bas-relief likeness of one or more honorees, a description of their achievement and a quotation.
The Extra Mile was founded by John A. Johansen in 1992. Planning and development for the monument were managed by the Make a Difference Foundation until its merger with the Points of Light Foundation in 2002. The Extra Mile monument was dedicated on October 14, 2005 in a ceremony attended by President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush.
Laura Pausini, omri (Italian: [ˈlaura pauˈziːni]; born 16 May 1974) is an Italian pop singer-songwriter and record producer. As a child, she was encouraged by her father to join him during his performances in local piano bars. After competing in local singing contests, Pausini signed her first recording contract. She rose to fame in 1993, winning the newcomer artists' section of the 43rd Sanremo Music Festival with her debut single "La solitudine", which became an Italian standard and an international hit, topping the charts in Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Her eponymous debut album was released in Italy on 23 April 1993 and later became an international success, selling two million copies worldwide.
Its follow-up, Laura, was released in 1994 and confirmed her international success, selling three million copies worldwide. During the same year, she released her first Spanish-language album, Laura Pausini, composed of ten adapted songs originally included in her previous works. The album was certified diamond by the Association of Phonographic and Videographic of Spain, making her the first non-Spanish artist to sell more than one million copies in Spain.

Countless eyes are watching
In this our finest hour
It's time to realize the dream
Of who we really are
I'm gonna freeze this space in time
Rise to make the call
Cease the moment
Make it mine
And through it all
Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I've found
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you
I know it won't be easy
To make you understand
I want to take the glory
And put it in your hands
'Cause your the light that makes me shine
You're the hero in my eyes
Win or lose
Do or die
?
Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I've found
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you
(Go the extra mile)
In the end
(Go the extra mile)
I want to be able to say
Tell the world to see
I would do it all again
I'd go the extra mile
Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I've found
(All the strength I've found)
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile
For you
Knowing it will be worth while
I will go the extra mile
For you
