小時候很喜歡在星期六看「金曲龍虎榜」，它都會介紹每週最新的暢銷歌曲排名，
當時聽到瑪利亞姐姐美妙的嗓音後驚為天人，還忍痛花錢去買了好幾捲她的專輯，
不過在她愈來愈成功而開始有點走鐘後，我就不太聽後來的歌了，
只知道她的身型不斷在花蝴蝶—發福蝶之間無限迴圈這樣 XDDD
雖然錄音帶早已不知去向，但透過那些反覆播放的旋律和詞句，
它們讓當時的我的心情有個藏身之處，
得以暫時忘掉難解的家庭習題，渡過國中那段苦澀歲月。
時至今日聽到那些歌，我對當時生活的記憶早已模糊，
但音樂所給予心靈上的撫慰和滋養仍是時時刻刻未曾停歇，令人覺得感恩。
這首歌不管何時聽都很有療癒效果，是個充MP(magic point)的好道具，
或許是瑪利亞姐姐那時候還很純真無邪，所以情感也相對純粹吧 (￣▽￣)
Hero
Lyrics：Mariah Carey
Music：Mariah Carey/Walter Afanasieff
Hmm
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
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
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
Oh oooh
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Just hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
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
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

若你去窺探自己的內心，那裡有位英雄，
你無須對那真正的自己感到恐懼。
如果你深入自己的靈魂，就會找到答案，
所有你知覺到的煩憂都將融化於無形中。
那獨自前行卻充滿著堅強力量的英雄，
幫你將恐懼放到一邊，你知道你可以存活下來。
因此，當你感到希望已然消逝時，
就往自己內心探找，然後堅強起來，
你終會看見那個真相，英雄其實就在你的心中。
當你獨自面對這世界，孤立無援時，會覺得生命是條漫長而無盡的路，
但如果你向自己的內心探索，你就會找到愛，
而那些你感受到的空虛感便將消失無蹤。
上帝明白追尋夢想真的不容易，
但別讓任何人輕易將它們奪走，
堅持下去，還有明天，
屆時，你就會找到可以前行的道路。
