There's a hero ①
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 ② 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 ③
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 ④
But don't let anyone tear them away ④ , hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow ④
In time you'll find the way ④
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
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
有一位英雄
若你寻觅内心深处
你不必担心自己是什么
有一种答案
若你探究灵魂深处
你所经历的痛苦将随之消散
英雄就会出现
充满力量继续前行
你把恐惧抛开
你知道你会挺过去
当你感到希望破灭之时
审视自己，仍然坚强
你终将发现真谛
你就是英雄
这是一条漫漫长路
当你独自面对这个世界
无人向你伸出援助之手
若你巡视自身，你会发现爱的存在
你曾感到的空虚会烟消云散
英雄就会出现
充满力量继续前行
你把畏惧抛开
你知道你会挺过去
当你感到希望破灭之时
审视自己，仍然坚强
你终将发现真谛
你就是英雄
众所周知，梦想总是难以追随
但不要让他人打破你的梦想，嘿，耶
坚持住
还有明天
最终你会找到出路
英雄就会出现
充满力量继续前行
你把畏惧抛开
你知道你会挺过去
当你感到希望破灭之时
审视自己，仍然坚强
你终将发现真谛
你就是英雄
你就是英雄
你就是英雄

① There's a hero.
运用了隐喻的修辞方法，将a hero比喻为“充满自信，坚强不屈的自我”。
② reach into原意为“伸进；达到”，这里指在内心深处寻求答案，因此可意译为“探究”。
③ A hero lies in you.
为使语意更加通顺，符合汉语表达习惯，翻译时可把原句的主语a hero与宾语you互换，译为“你就是英雄”。
④ Lord knows dreams are hard to follow; But don't let anyone tear them away.
There will be tomorrow; In time you'll find the way.
Lord knows意为“上帝知道；众所周知”。如：Lord knows, I tried to teach her.谁都知道，我曾经努力想教她。
follow和tomorrow有相同的元音[əu]，away和way有相同的元音[ei]，都运用了尾韵的修辞手法，增加了歌曲的韵律感。这两句歌词表达了歌者充满信心，勇于战胜困难，摆脱困境的坚强决心。
歌词Lord knows中的lord有名词和动词两个词性。作为名词，意为“上帝，领主”；作为动词，意为“称王称霸，使成贵族”。Lord意为“上帝”时，指的是耶和华，也就是耶稣的父亲；耶稣则被称为Jesus。而常见的God一词也可指“上帝”，它的使用范围比较广，泛指一切神，包括佛教、伊斯兰教等的神。
