Lyrics

Japanese

愛は奇跡を信じる力よ
孤独が魂(ココロ)閉じ込めても
ひとりきりじゃないよとあなた
愛を口移しに教えてあげたい

You need a hero 傷だらけのヒーロー誰でも
悲しみに振り向いたら  明日が見えないよ

You need a hero I'm holding out for a hero
'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon
And He's gotta be larger than life
You need a hero

Romaji

ai wa kiseki wo shinjiru chikara yo
kodoku ga kokoro tojikomete mo
hitori kiri ja nai yo to anata
ai wo kuchiutsushi ni oshiete agetai

You need a hero kizurake no HERO dare demo
kanashimi ni furimuitara ashita ga mienai yo

You need a hero I'm holding out for a hero
'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon
And He's gotta be larger than life
You need a hero
