Lyrics

The Hero

[Intro]

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

[Verse 1]

So you feel like you ain't nobody?

Always needed to be somebody?

Put your feet on the ground

Put your hand on your heart

Lift your head to the stars

And the world's for your taking

All you gotta do is save the world, yeah

[Verse 2]

So you feel it's the end of the story?

Find it all pretty satisfactory?

Well I tell you, my friend

This might seem like the end

But the continuation

Is yours for the making

Yes, you're a hero, ooh yeah

[Orchestral Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Flash's Theme - Reprise]

Flash!

A-ah!

He's for every one of us

Stand for every one of us

He'll save with a mighty hand (he'll save with a mighty hand)

He'll save with a mighty hand (he'll save with a mighty hand)

He saved with a mighty hand (save us)

Every man every woman every child (man, woman, child)

He's the mighty (mighty)

Flash!

A-ah!
