Worksheet of missing lyric

There’s a hero if you __________ inside your heart

You __________ to be afraid of what you are

There’s an answer if you ___________ into your soul

And the sorrow that you __________ will melt away

And then a hero ____________ along, with the strength to carry on

And you __________ your fears aside, and you ___________ you can survive

So when you ____________ like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero ______________ in you

It’s a long road, if you ___________ the world alone

No one __________ out a hand for you to hold

You can’t find love if you ____________ within yourself

And the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero __________ along, with the strength to carry on

And you ___________ your fears aside, and you ___________ you can survive

So when you ___________ like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero _____________ in you

Lord ___________ dreams are hard to follow

But __________ anyone tear them away

Hold on there will be tomorrow

In time you’ll find the way

And then a hero ____________ along, with the strength to carry on

And you ____________ your fears aside, and you ____________ you can survive

So when you ____________ like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero ______________ in you
