When the story of heroes is told
This mystery begins to unfold
The life with the highest reward
Is a life devoted to a cause
Our lord

A hero achieves the greatest good when he seeks to know the truth
Never wandering, never wavering
Always staying true, so this is your story

It all starts with you, your destany
Your life, just believe in yourself.
And the hero in you.
