You gotta Be Your Own Hero
You gotta have something worth fighting for
Go out and find, you gotta find your own dream now
Oh, now

Cause you only get one shot now baby
Better make it hot now baby
Give it what you got
You gotta Be Your Own Hero

Be your own hero
Be your own hero

Wishin' on a rainbow at my feet
It's a lucky sign
Ain't nothin' but the oil slicks in the street
After the rain

But I, I feel a rush of inspiration in my heart
It's real
Gonna ride this new sensation

Tonight I'm opening and starring in my life
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero

Innocence in white chiffon
You can't save it once it's gone
Still the beat goes on as we watch our legends dyin'
Toy soldiers in a storm
Fallin' one by one

Drink a toast to Jimmy Dean and the Queen of Sigma Chi
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero
Be Your Own Hero
Be Your Own Hero

Light a candle for the believers
Still reaching for the sky
The future's in their eyes

You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
Look into their eyes                      La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
Light a candle for the believers      La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
You Gotta Be Your Own Hero     La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
