Hero Within

by *fading*away*   Dec 10, 2005


One day, a butterfly will fly in loops
And the birds will sing their melody together
The meadows will seem greener
And fireworks will light up the dark night
As a hero arrives

Within you, you know
There is always courage to go on
A hidden hero
Welcomes you
And you find you have the strength to go on
And let go of the past,
Walk that extra mile
To find yourself
In this maze you've got lost in

Sure, I still hope you'll come back
But with each new day,
The hope gets dimmer
And I feel myself becoming stronger

There are still nights
So cold and unforgiving,
I want to fly and forget
Cause on those nights,
I need a friend so much.

But then, a bee hums
And the star shines
And the hero within me
Carries on,
With newfound strength
And I find that
Though you'll never come back,
You'll always be there in my heart,
My dear friend,
And though the hurt won't disappear overnight,
The hero within me
Will carry on without you

One day, a tear will roll down my cheek,
The last tear I would cry for our friendship
Now lost somewhere in my history,
And my heart will lock those happy memories
We shared in those cold days,
And let go of you
I'll set you free
I've already forgiven what youâ??ve done
Our friendship is now scarred
I can't trust you whole again

So I'll just let go
And set you free
Those special memories I canâ??t erase
Will be somewhere in my mind in a special place...

I'll sing the song of my heart
Now sounding so slow but so sure,
A sad melody entwined with strength
From a hero within
