Letra
There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be proud Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 That a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you - Anytime You Need A Friend4:26

Letra
Do you know How it feels Lying here without you baby You could never understand what's happening to me So alone Nothing's real I just dream about you baby And forever wonder why you had To break free Even though you're not my lover Even though you're not my friend I'd give my all To have you here Just to hold you once again It's so hard To believe I don't have you right beside me As I long to touch you But you're out of my reach And my heart doesn't feel It's so very cold inside me Just a shadow of someone that I used to be Even though you're not my lover Even though you're not my friend I would give my all To have you here Just to hold you once again You were the only one (only one) That I allowed inside my heart Now I'm just holding on To something so far gone Where did I go wrong Even though you're not my lover And even though you're not my friend I'd give my all To have you here Just to hold you once again Just to hold you once again - I've Been Thinking About You4:48
