Hero”, by Mariah Carey, has a leading point which is that you are your own hero and be happy with who you are. Some examples from the lyrics are, “And cast your fears aside, you know you can survive,” which I think means don’t be scared you can get through hard times. Another lyric is, “Dreams are hard to follow but don’t let anyone tear them away,” meaning that don’t stop following your dreams and don’t let anyone get in the way of your dreams. The last lyrics that I have chosen is, “A hero lies in you.” I think it means there is a hero in everyone you just have to search inside you, to find that hero. Also a hero can be expressed and shown in many ways.
I believe that what Mariah Carey is trying to get across is very inspiring and helps people to believe in themselves. If you feel like no one is there for you I think this song shows you that you’re a hero and that you can do it all by yourself. I think the lyrics mean that everyone is a hero. Like sometimes when I have to do things on my own and no one is there, I am my own hero and help myself through my problems by guiding myself to where I think I will succeed. Almost like when I take a test in school. Sometimes you need to be a hero to help yourself out. Other times you need to be a hero to help others out. Either way a hero is inspiring to people and everyone is a hero.
