CORRECT LYRICS

Lyrics : Hero (Live From the Honda Center, Anaheim, CA / 2006)

I wrote a song a while back, even before One Sweet Day and...
It was... not my favorite song in the world, but I wrote it...
Somebody asked me to write a song, they told me the story and, you know, it was kinda like a moving concept or whatever...
And I did it, I was like, you know it's not necessarily what I like per se...
But after doing the song over and over again, I have people come up to me and saying... coming up to me and saying
Thank you for writing Hero, because it saved my life, it saved my father's life, or it saved my brother's life, or my sister's life, or something of that nature...
I said I always have to sing that song whenever I perform because if I don't, you never know who I'm leaving out and, you know what, in times in my life I've had to turn to that song lyrically and- and... you know, flip it onto my own life and sing it to myself, so...
It's from the Music Box album and um... it's called Hero, so this is for you guys
Thank you Anaheim for being here with me tonight, Orange County, everybody that [?], like incredible
I have to thank you so much...
And you can sing along to this one too if you want

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
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
Ooh yes it does
