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
[Verse 3]
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
And no one reaches out a hand for you to hold (For you to hold)
And you can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear, hey, yes
[Verse 4]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And then 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
[Verse 5]
Whoa, oh
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't you let anyone
Tear them away
Just hold on
And there will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
[Verse 6]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And then you cast your fears aside
Because you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And then you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you
[Verse 7]
And you (That a hero lies in)
You
You, you
A hero lies in you
