the song below !
Hero
by Mariah Carey
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
(
chorus )
And
then a hero comes a long
With
the strength to carry on
And
you cast your fears afraid
And
you know you can survive
So 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
When
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
(
chorus )
And
then a hero comes a long
With
the strength to carry on
And
you cast your fears afraid
And
you know you can survive
So 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
The
lord knows
Dreams
are hard to follow
But
don’t let anyone
Tear
them away
Hold
on
There
will be tomorrow
In
time
You’ll
find the way
( chorus
)
And
then a hero comes a long
With
the strength to carry on
And
you cast your fears afraid
And
you know you can survive
So 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
