music: “Hero” written and produced by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff
made popular by Mariah Carey (1992)


  1. You’re a hero if you look inside their scheme.
    You don't have to be afraid of who they are.
    There's an answer.
    If you help achieve our goals and the sorrow that they bring will fade away.
Chorus: There are heros come along with the strength to carry on.
And you cast your fear aside.
Wipe your tear drops off your eyes.
When you feel like hope is gone.
We support and make you strong.
People'll finally see the truth.
There’s a good cause lies in you.
  1. It’s a long road. You’re not fighting them alone.
    We'll lend a helping hand for you to hold.
    Life is real tough.
    If you search within yourself and the worthiness once lost will reappear.
(repeat Chorus)
Bridge: God knows kids are hard to forgo.
Don't let anyone take them away.
Hold on. There will be tomorrow in time we’ll find a way.
(repeat Chorus)

We need heros just like you.
