You were a hero, our only hero
You were a hero for everyone
You were a hero, our only hero
You were a hero
Like no one
Like no one

Like a rainbow in the dark
You put meaning in our hearts
Fantasy, kings and queens
You meant the world to me
With your voice so strong and sweet
You were the mystery
No, we'll never let you go
And we wanna let you know
That in our hearts, deep in our hearts

You were a hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
To everyone
You were our hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
Like no one, like no one
Like no one, like no one
Like no one

With your music in our ears
We will wipe away our tears
Memory lives endlessly
For generations still to come
They will know that you're the one
Who let us see rock history
No, we never let you go
And we wanna let you know

That in our hearts
Deep in our hearts

You are a hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
To everyone
You were our hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
Like no one, like no one
Like no one, like no one
Like no one
You were a hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
To everyone
Our only hero
You were our hero
Like no one, like no one
Like no one, like no one
Like no one

You were a hero
Our only hero
You were a hero
To everyone
You were a hero
Ronnie James Dio
You were a hero
Like no one, like no one
