(C) 2009 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT There’s a hero If you look inside your heart You don’t have to be afraid Of what you are There’s an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away Chorus And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you It’s a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear Chorus Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don’t let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You’ll find the way Chorus (Lyrics: M.

@EmpressAdrienne lol., yes we admit her voice changed, deteriorated, but still her voice is distinct and incomparable., and it’s not only the voice that matters, it’s the attitude., she chose to be contemporary but still she is wholesome., some call her a slut, a bitch and an old whore., do u think what she does in her videos right now are slutty? comparing to gaga, rihanna, britney or any other artist, she is still one of the most wholesome and still she is a good role model to us all., period.
@EmpressAdrienneDon’t you think you’re being unfair? She definitely can’t sing like she used to, that’s obvious, but to say her voice sucks is nonsense. Compared to what it used to be it’s not anywhere near as good, but compared to most other singers she’s still very good and just taking her voice at face value she’s still a good singer.
she really does not have the voice to sing this song anymore. Instead of really listening people are only saying she sounds good because you are dedicated fans. Face it her voice sucks now ever since she decided to hooch herself out like all the other singers out there. She can’t hit the high notes anymore. You guys know it’s true but don’t and wont admit it.
SHE REACH MY SOUL EVERYTHIME…U ROCK MY WORLD MARIAH LOVE U SO MUCH…..THROUGH MY SOUL….U MAKE ME HAPPY EVERYTIME I DO LISTEN U…..CHRIS …your BIG fan from italy…..U R THE BEST AND ALWAYS BEEN ,,,,,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She still has the most amazing voice…christmas just inst christmas without her xmas cd. Well done Mariah for staying true to your dream and not being influenced by all the negativity in the world. Your true to the lyrics in this song…

Now she becomes a REAL HERO by honestly facing her difficulty and singing this song again! Her courage is the real message of this new version.

I find this version easier to sing compared to the original cause I don’t have a whispy and angelic voice like Mariah.
