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
He`s gotta be sure
And it`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There`s someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It`s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
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
He`s gotta be sure
And it`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I`m holding out for a hero `til 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
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 fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I`m holding out for a hero `til the morning light
He`s gotta be sure
And it`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life
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
He`s gotta be sure
And it`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I`m holding out for a hero `til the end of the night
