Hero
------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

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

How about:

Heroes, by David Bowie. (Also covered by the Wallflowers, on the Godzilla
soundtrack, and as the intro song to NHL 99 by EASPORTS)

Here is a beautiful song by Gordon Lightfoot which never appeared on an album or
single. It was written in late '62 or early '63. Although he never recorded the
song for an album, I think it is one of his most beautiful. There is a clip of
it at my web site, on the "musical tour" page. The songs is Echoes Of Heroes.

ECHOES OF HEROES, c1963 by Gordon Lightfoot

Now the echo of the heroes is heard everywhere
In the conflict of old in the times of despair
All down through the ages the voices do ring
They cry out of victory and of freedom they sing

(Chorus)
And the echo of the laughter and the songs that they sang
The whine of the steel and the roar of the guns
And the tolling of the bell and the cries of the lame
And the echoes of heroes roll down through the ages to remind us again

In the fields of Flanders the brave ones do lie
At Verdun and Ypres where a million men died
From the Marne to the Somme to the Normandy shore
Their spirits go marching where the wild eagles soar

On the land, in the sky, in the oceans they come
All onward they march as the drummers do drum
Their faces are bloody and their weapons are worn
Their bones are all shattered and their bodies all torn

(Chorus)

Must this be the road we are travelling yet
Must this be the time when nations forget
All the sons and the fathers who joined in the fray
To be killed and destroyed and be buried in the clay

(Chorus)

My favorite "hero" song....

Wind Beneath My Wings
Bette Midler

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
When you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
Oh you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you're my hero
You're everything everything I wish I could be oh and I
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh the wind beneath my wings
Fly fly fly away
You let me fly so high
Oh fly fly so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you thank you thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

This song doesn't contain the word "hero", but it is about the greatest hero
ever: "Somebody Bigger Than You and I" sung by Elvis

  Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler 5:50
(Jim Steinman And Dean Pitchford)
Album: Footloose Original Soundtrack - Columbia

[Doo doo doo doo]
[Doo doo doo doo]
[Doo doo doo doo, ah ah]

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where the streets-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be large than life, larger than life

[Doo doo doo doo]
[Doo doo doo doo]
[Doo doo doo doo, ah ah]

Somewhere after midnight
in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be large than life,
I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the strom and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

[Like a fire in my blood]
[Like a fire in my blood]
[Like a fire in my blood]
[Like a fire in my blood]

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be large than life, ...
