Holding Out For a Hero

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?

Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and I turn, I dream of what I need

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the end of the night

But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

Got to be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's gotta be sure, gotta be soon

Gotta be larger than life

Larger than life

Oh, yeah

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder, rising with the heat

Ha, it's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

Oh, I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the end of the night

But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

Gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the morning light

Gotta be sure, gotta be soon

Got to be larger than life

Larger than life

A hero till the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

The storm and the flood

I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the end of the night

But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast

Gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's gotta be sure

Gotta be larger than life

Than life, life, life, life

Hero till the end of the night

Gotta be strong

Gotta be larger than life

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's gotta be sure

Got to be larger than life

I need a hero
