 愛は奇跡を信じる力よ
<pre>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
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
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
You need a hero I'm holding out for a hero
 'till the morinig light
'till the morning light
 He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon
He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon
 And He's gotta be larger than life
And He's gotta be larger than life
 You need a hero
You need a hero</pre>

<pre>ai wa kiseki wo shinjiru chikara yo
kodoku ga kokoro tojikomete mo

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</pre>
