Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away

[Verse 2]

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

'Cause 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

Yeah

[Verse 3]

It's a long, long road

When you face the world alone

And 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

[Verse 4]

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

'Cause 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, oh

[Verse 5]

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away

Just hold on

And there will be tomorrow

And in time you'll find the way

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

That a hero lies in you

You, you, you, hey

That a hero lies in you
