This version of The Hero comes from the 2020 Blu-Ray Disc, extracted from the DTS Channel.
This version of The Hero is featured during the end credits of the Flash Gordon Movie. The mix is different than the one that appears on the soundtrack. It sounds as though some of the performances used on this mix are from a different take as well. It's not as good as the album version, but an interesting alternative version.
Written by: Brian May

Freddie Mercury - vocals
Brian May - guitars, piano, synthesizer, vocals
John Deacon - bass guitar
Roger Taylor - drums, vocals

Lyrics / Transcription:
Yeah
So you feel like you ain't nobody
Always needed to be somebody
Put your feet on the ground
Put your hand on your heart
Lift your head to the stars
And the world's for your taking
Are you ready to save the world
Yeah
So you feel like it's end of story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well I tell you my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation is
Yours for the making
Yes, you're a hero
Flash, a-ah
Saviour of the universe
Flash, a-ah
He's for everyone of us
Stand for everyone of us
He saved with a mighty hand (he saved with a mighty hand)
He saved with a mighty hand (he saved with a mighty hand)
He saved with a mighty hand (he saved us)
Every man, every woman, every child, he's a mighty
Flash, a-ah
