[Spoken Intro]
Seven months ago, New York had its back against the wall
Our neighbors needed help, and Robin Hood reached out to us for our support
New Yorkers answered the call and stepped up
Tonight, I would like to dedicate this song to the thousands of heroes in New York who did their part to help put our great city back on the road to full recovery

[Intro]
No, nothing could tear us away
We could be heroes, just for one day
We could be heroes, just for one day

[Chorus]
And then a hero comеs along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears asidе
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
A hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

[Verse]
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every, every heart prepare Him, prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
(Heaven and nature sing)
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

[Outro]
And nature sing

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
