\n[ Lyrics: Hero<\/strong> ]<\/p>\n

Everything has a beginning
\nEverything comes to and end
\nTake it or leave it
\nYou’d better believe it
\nBe my lover, be my friend
\nTry to deny what you’re feeling
\nAnd you know that you’re heart will say no
\nLove will last longer
\nGrowing stronger and stronger
\nIf you stay and don’t let go<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/em>
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive
\nOh, taking the fight
\nIs the life of a hero
\nStaying alive
\nThis is a story
\nOf love and compassion
\nOnly heroes can tell
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive<\/p>\n

Heaven and earth keep colliding
\nBut we love on a world of its own
\nOh, there you can’t fake it
\nJust make it or break it
\nOnly you can find the one<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/em>
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive
\nOh, taking the fight
\nIs the life of a hero
\nStaying alive
\nThis is a story
\nOf love and compassion
\nOnly heroes can tell
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive
\nOh, survive<\/p>\n

Heroes can live on their own
\nBut heroes never die alone<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/em>
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive
\nOh, taking the fight
\nIs the life of a hero
\nStaying alive
\nThis is a story
\nOf love and compassion
\nOnly heroes can tell
\nOh, out of the light
\nLike a star, like a hero
\nLove will survive<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
