There's a hero有一位英雄If you look inside your heart如果你往你的内心深处寻觅You don't have to be afraid你无需恐惧Of what you are自己是什么There's an answer会有一个答案If you reach into your soul如果你往你的灵魂深处探索And the sorrow that you know你所了解的悲伤Will melt away将会消散And then a hero comes along然后一位英雄走来
With the strength to carry on充满了力量继续着And you cast your fears aside把你的恐惧甩到一旁And you know you can survive你明白你能活下来So when you feel like hope is gone所以当你感觉希望破灭之时Look inside you and be strong正视自己并且要坚强And you'll finally see the truth最后你终将发现这个事实That a hero lies in you你就是英雄
