    • Lyrics : Hero

    Everything has a beginning
    Everything comes to an end
    Take it or leave it, you better believe it
    Be my lover, be my friend

    Try to deny what you’re feeling
    And you know that your heart will say no
    Love will last longer, growing stronger and stronger
    If you stay and don’t let go

    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive
    Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
    Staying alive
    This is a story of love and compassion
    Only heroes can tell
    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive

    Heaven and Earth keep colliding
    But we love on a world of its own
    Oh, there you can fake it, just make it or break it
    Only you can find the one

    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive
    Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
    Staying alive
    This is a story of love and compassion
    Only heroes can tell
    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive

    Oh, survive
    Heroes can live on their own
    But heroes never die alone

    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive
    Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
    Staying alive
    (This is a story of love and compassion)
    Heroes can tell
    Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
    Love will survive
