[Verse 1]
Am        F       Dm
Holding on to the memory
     E          Am
Of a hero long ago
Am          F         Dm
Your words echo in my mind
Dm               E         Am
But the darkness won't let go

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


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F                      C
Doubts are creeping in
C      G           F
How in Lylat can I win?
C                G
If only you were here

F                Am
Betrayed in the end
                        F
By the one you called a friend
F               G       E     C
If only I could see you once again


[Chorus]
 N.C.         F    G
But how can I rise up?
          F Am C
How could I compare
        C          G
To the hero that I need to be?
    Em                   F
The father who was never there
     G            Em    C
They say you live on in me
         F       G
Then why can't I see
    G              E      Am
The hero that's inside of me?

[Verse 2]
Am                Dm
I've got no other choice
           E    Am
This is my only destiny
       F         Dm
I will make them pay
            E       Am
For ripping apart my family

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


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                 C
This could be the end
G              C
Or is this the start
F              C
Of a brand new me?

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


[Chorus]
N.C.       C    G
Now I will rise up
     E               F
And soar through the air
       C           G
I'm becoming who I need to be
  Am                 F
I know you're always there
     G            Am
They say you live on in me
        F           G
And I'm starting to see
    G           E         Am
The hero that's inside of me

F                       G             Am        C
Though I know I'll only see you in my dreams
F                G                      Dm       E
You'll never know just what your memory means to me


[Chorus]
C
And I will not give up
G                   F
Soaring through the air
C                  G
I'm becoming who I need to be
Am                   F
I know you're always there
     G            Am
They say you live on in me
      F
And I finally see
    G              Am     G
The hero that's inside of me
