(Help! Help! Our village is on fire!)
(My house! My house! Pray to the Jade Emperor!)
Heavens, hear our cry, send us rain from the sky
The flames are burning fast!
Our village may not last!
Heavens, hear our plea, we are down on our knees
Save our houses and our lives
Spare our children and our wives!
(Help...)
Heavens, hear our prayer, our cries of despair
Please hear us from on high
Don't leave us here to die
Emperor, if you're there, please show that you care
Our lives are in your hands...
Send us a hero
To save us from this plight
Send us a hero
Time's not on our side
Send us a hero
Don't leave us here to die
We pray to you for mercy
Dear Jade Emperor, spare our lives
(Look! Up in the sky!)
(It's the Dragon!)
(The Emperor sent the Dragon to save us!)
(Please help us!)
(Please!)
(They need my help! But I'm already in the lead)
(So close to being first in the Zodiac)
(And be remembered for eternity)
The finish line is up ahead
One final swoop and then I win the prize
Pride and glory lie ahead
Finally from the ashes I will rise
But what's the point of winning
If it leaves you feeling cold
Where's the joy in victory
If you've sacrificed your soul
What is a hero?
Is he one who perseveres?
What is a hero?
Is he one who knows no fear?
What is a hero?
Does he win at any cost?
Where's the joy in what you've gained
If there is so much that you've lost
What is a hero?
A hero...
So what if I've crossed that finish line
If I've left everything behind?
Can I be a hero?
A hero?
Their hero... for today
