Hero
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
Cause you know you can survive
And 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
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
Cause you know you can survive
And 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
Hold on
There will 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
Cause you know you can survive
And 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 (hero)
Hero (hero)
Hero (hero)
Here's a hero
