Holding Out for a Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Wheres the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isnt 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
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
Hes gotta be sure
And hes gotta be soon
And hes gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Theres someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Its gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
Hes gotta be sure
And hes gotta be soon
And hes gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that theres 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 the fire in my blood

I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight (I need, yeah)
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
Hes gotta be sure
And hes gotta be soon
And hes gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
Hes gotta be sure
And hes gotta be soon
And hes gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
