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 and I dream of what I need

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon

And it's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

I need a hero

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon

And it's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Or where the lightning splits the sea

I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

I need a hero

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon

And it's gotta be larger than life
