Hero

Hero" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias from his second English-language studio album Escape (2001). It was written by Iglesias, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor. Iglesias released the song to radio on August 14, 2001 to a positive critical and commercial reception. To the date the single has sold over 8 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, which took place eight days after the song's release on CD, it was one of the few songs chosen by radio DJs in New York City to be remixed with audio from police, firefighters, civilians at Ground Zero, and politicians commenting on the attacks. Iglesias was asked to sing the song live at America: A Tribute to Heroes. He had performed the song earlier at that year's Miss Venezuela, but due to the terrorist attacks the show was not aired on television.

[Intro] Let me be your hero [Verse 1] Would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you run, and never look back? Would you cry, if you saw me crying? Would you save my soul, tonight? Would you tremble, if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please, tell me this Now would you die, for the one you loved? Hold me in your arms, tonight [Chorus] I can be your hero, baby I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away [Verse 2] Would you swear, that you'll always be mine Or would you lie? Would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care, you're here tonight [Chorus] I can be your hero, baby I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Oh, I just wanna hold you I just wanna hold you Oh, yeah Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? Well, I don't care You're here tonight [Chorus] I can be your hero, baby I can kiss away the pain (Oh yeah) I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away [Outro] I can be your hero I can kiss away the pain And I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away You can take my breath away I can be your hero
