[Verse 1]
You dream about who you could be
But who you are, you just don't see
When no one tells you what to do
How will you know then?
You'd like to have a plan for life
Keep straight on and then turn right
Your avenue to better days
But things don't work like this

[Chorus]
I can be
You can be
We all wanna be
Somebody's hero

[Verse 2]
You wanna know, you have to try
How to meet and say goodbye
Go through joy and heavy days
Some wounds might heal you
Open up to let you in
Stronger than you've ever been
Do understand, you really can
Be your own hero

[Chorus]
I can be
And you can be
We all wanna be
Somebody's hero
And all we do
Is all about me and you
What we go through
To be somebody's hero

[Bridge]
Don't you know you've gotta leave
To come back home? So push yourself over the edge
Learn how to cry and laugh again
Appreciate to see the best in rain or shine
Don't you blame anyone
Anything for what you've done or haven't done
You're not a victim of your life, no
You can decide, you can decide

[Chorus]
But I can be
And you can be
We all wanna be
Somebody's hero (Somebody's hero)
And all we do
Is all about me and you
What we go through
To be somebody's hero

[Outro]
But I can be
And you can be
We all wanna be
Somebody's hero (Somebody's hero)
And all we do (All we do)
Is all about me, is all about you
What we go through
To be somebody's hero

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
