"HERO"

My favourite singer is Mariah carey. Over the last 2 days, her hit song HERO resonated repeatedly in my soul. I did not know why. I did not sense the usual peace when I listened to that song... somehow, it was a different kind of HERO. I pondered about it, but could not understand why. The word HERO has taken on a different meaning, it sounded more like someone we would refer to in hokkien as "lao" HERO. I was not convinced. So I googled the words for the song HERO to verify... here it is:

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
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
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
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
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

Now, I know! The HERO that lies inside of me, gives me peace. The HERO on the outside would best be known as "HERO"... one in parenthesis. Know of a good "HERO" lately?
