We All Need the Hero inside us

Just thought we could use this to know our strength in ourselves and one another.. When I’m sad and concerned about others and fighting deep depression and loss or OCD, I look for that strength to carry on........,Mariah Carey’s HERO song and 1st verse says it all ...,,,,,,,,,

There's a Hero

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 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.

Awww I love this! I remember this song and it definitely rings true. In the end, we are the ones with the power to live in our values and embrace the uncertainty in life.

Thank you so much 😊 And very true . It can be a struggle. Even if hanging on by a thread, there’s definitely truth in this . Definitely hope.

I’m searching every day and I made a huge step today towards finding that DR again.

Fingers crossed , cause I really need to see them soon.

I’ve got everybody here to pull me through until then 👍

Thank you for sharing! Here’s another good song that I feel like the Lord put on my heart to share with everyone, also…go to YouTube and pull up, “Can’t Cross the Bloodline, “ sung by Tara Montpetit…such a beautiful song!

Thank you so much! I’ll check it out definitely

Hi. Thanks for posting the lyrics. They are powerful and inspirational. To be honest was never a fan of the song though (sorry Mariah) 😒

You’re very welcome. The lyrics are definitely what stood out to me. I can’t actually listen to slow songs , but I was looking for inspirational and powerful words and they just popped off the page for me. Just seemed like fitting words for so many. And that hit home for me.

All my best
