You came callin', and I'm fallin'

You're like a fire and I feel like a flame

So consume me with what you're doin'

Love makes me hold on, I'll never be the same

Just like you to take me higher

Just like me to make you care

Just like you to be the one who's always there

Just like me to take you higher

Just like you to make me care

Just like me to be the one who's always there

Hypnotizin', oh, so mystifying

I feel the magic in every word you say

Soul inspired, loves desire

When you're near me my love won't slip away

Love won't slip away, hey, hey, hey

Just like you to take me higher

Just like me to make you care

Just like you to be the one who's always there

Just like me to take you higher

Just like you to make me care

Just like me to be the one who's always there.

"La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La,   

"You gotta be your own hero.
 You gotta have something worth fighting for.
 Go out and find your own dream now. Oh, now.
 'Cause you only get one shot now, baby.
 You 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 (Gotta be your own hero).
Be your own hero.

Wishing on a rainbow at my feet.
It's a lucky sign.
Ain't nothing but the oil slick 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 dying.
Toy soldiers in a storm.
Falling one by one.
So Drink a toast to Jimmy Dean And the queen of Sigma Chi.

You gotta be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero) 
Be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero)
Be your own hero.

Light a candle for the believers,
Still reaching for the sky (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)
Look into their eyes (La, la, la) 
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La) 
Light a candle for the believers (La, la, la)
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero. (La!)"
