The Hero Inside Of Me

(album: Smoke & Mirrors - 2017)

Holding on to the memory
Of a hero long ago
Your words echo in my mind
But the darkness won't let go
You gave it all to save your son
And the place we called a home
You were the strongest man I never knew
And now I'm on my own

Doubts are creeping in
How in Lylat can I win?
If only you were here
Betrayed in the end
By the one you called a friend
If only I could see you once again...

But how can I rise up?
How could I compare
To the hero that I need to be?
A father never there
They say you live on in me
Then why can't I see
The hero that's inside of me?

I've got no other choice
This is my only destiny
I will make them pay
For ripping apart my family
And I don't care about the prize
I don't care about the fame
I will give my all to save this world
And live up to my name

This could be the end
Or is this the start
Of a brand new me?
Father, are you there?
Somewhere in the stars
This one's for you
Wherever you are...

Now I will rise up
And soar through the air
I'm becoming who I need to be
I know you're always there
They say you live on in me
And I'm starting to see
The hero that's inside of me

Though I'll only see you in my dreams
You'll never know just what your memory means to me

And I will not give up
Soaring through the air
I'm becoming who I need to be
I know you're always there
They say you live on in me
And I finally see
The hero that's inside of me

The hero that's inside of me
