Song Lyrics - Hero

There's a hero, if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer, if you reach inside your soul,
And the sorrow that you know will melt away.

And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road, and you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love, if you search within yourself,
And the emptiness you felt will disappear.

And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you.

Love knows that dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on where we'll be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you.

That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
