Have you ever been the face
Been the object of someone's hate?
Like you stood all alone
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever been betrayed?
Labeled words you just can't say
Suffered silently
Wanting to be erased?

There's a reason to believe again
When faith is nowhere to be found
Try to find the strength to try again
And stand on solid ground

You keep searching for a hero
You just want to find a friend
You just want to make a difference
Bring this battle to an end
All the words can make you stronger
When you learn how to look within
'Cause you're the hero that you're after
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero

Have you ever wanted peace
To feel the freedom of release?
Whispered quietly
But now it's time to scream
'Cause mercy triumphs over judgment
Light will always shine in darkness
Oh, and you won't get the best of me

There's a reason to believe again
And stand on solid ground

You keep searching for a hero
You just want to find a friend
You just want to make a difference
Bring this battle to an end
All the words can make you stronger
When you learn how to look within
'Cause you're the hero that you're after
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero

Don't let them break you, take you down
You are the one who can turn this around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You keep searching for a hero
You just want to find a friend
You just want to make a difference
Bring this battle to an end
All the words can make you stronger
When you learn how to look within
'Cause you're the hero that you're after
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
You are the hero

You are the hero, hero
You are the hero, hero
