Ooh-ooh-ooh 00:06
Ooh-ooh-ooh 00:08
Ooh-ooh-ooh 00:10
Ooh-ooh-ooh 00:12
Little girl only seventeen years old 00:13
Life just got in the way 00:16
Don't know what to say 00:17
She's heard it all before 00:19
Lying on her bedroom floor 00:21
Thinking my life has to be worth more 00:23
She dreams of going to New York City 00:26
Her heart's already there but her head's fighting a wall 00:29
Little girl only seventeen years old 00:34
Looking for a star but it's just too dark 00:37
When dreams get a little bit wider 00:40
And it's hard to swim across the water 00:44
And the scars get a little bit deeper 00:48
And a flame turns into a fire 00:52
Tonight, when you need a way home 00:56
Someone to lean on 00:59
Some kind of hero 01:01
It's there when you look in the mirror 01:04
Staring back at you 01:08
There's a hero in you 01:10
There's a hero in you, you, you 01:15
There's a hero in you, you, you 01:23
Old man trying to make it on his own 01:37
Looking at the space where his wife once was 01:40
Wants to find just something to believe in 01:45
He hears a knock at the door this evening 01:48
She says, "I'm going to New York City to follow my dreams" 01:52
"Would you come with me?" 01:57
Little girl only seventeen years old 02:00
Looking at the stars in her granddad's eyes 02:03
And the dreams get a little bit wider 02:07
But together they cross the river 02:11
And the scars get a little bit lighter 02:14
And the sky looks a little brighter 02:18
Tonight, when you need a way home 02:22
Someone to lean on 02:25
Some kind of hero 02:27
It's there when you look in the mirror 02:30
Staring back at you 02:33
There's a hero in you 02:35
There's a hero in you, you, you 02:50
There's a hero in you, you, you 02:58
There's a hero in you 03:05

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Little girl only seventeen years old
Life just got in the way
Don't know what to say
She's heard it all before
Lying on her bedroom floor
Thinking my life has to be worth more
She dreams of going to New York City
Her heart's already there but her head's fighting a wall
Little girl only seventeen years old
Looking for a star but it's just too dark
When dreams get a little bit wider
And it's hard to swim across the water
And the scars get a little bit deeper
And a flame turns into a fire
Tonight, when you need a way home
Someone to lean on
Some kind of hero
It's there when you look in the mirror
Staring back at you
There's a hero in you
There's a hero in you, you, you
There's a hero in you, you, you
Old man trying to make it on his own
Looking at the space where his wife once was
Wants to find just something to believe in
He hears a knock at the door this evening
She says, "I'm going to New York City to follow my dreams"
"Would you come with me?"
Little girl only seventeen years old
Looking at the stars in her granddad's eyes
And the dreams get a little bit wider
But together they cross the river
And the scars get a little bit lighter
And the sky looks a little brighter
Tonight, when you need a way home
Someone to lean on
Some kind of hero
It's there when you look in the mirror
Staring back at you
There's a hero in you
There's a hero in you, you, you
There's a hero in you, you, you
There's a hero in you
