Holding on to the memory
Of a hero long ago
Your words echo in my mind
But the darkness won't let go

You gave it all to save your son
And the place we called a home
You were the strongest man I never knew
And now I'm on my own

Doubts are creeping in
How in Lylat can I win?
If only you were here

Betrayed in the end
By the one you called a friend
If only I could see you once again

But how can I rise up?
How could I compare
To the hero that I need to be?
The father who was never there
They say you live on in me
Then why can't I see
The hero that's inside of me?
I've got no other choice
This is my only destiny
I will make them pay
For ripping apart my family

And I don't care about the prize
I don't care about the fame
I will give my all to save this world
And live up to my name

This could be the end
Or is this the start
Of a brand new me?

Father, are you there?
Somewhere in the stars
This one's for you
Wherever you are

Now I will rise up
And soar through the air
I'm becoming who I need to be
I know you're always there
They say you live on in me
And I'm starting to see
The hero that's inside of me
Though I know I'll only see you in dreams
You'll never know just what your memory means to me

And I will not give up
I will soar through the air
I'm becoming who I need to be
I know you're always there
They say you live on in me
And I finally see
The hero that's inside of me
The hero that's inside of me
