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

He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be soon

And he's got to 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, yeah

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 got to 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 he's gotta be soon

And he's got to 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 there is someone, somewhere, watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and 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) I need a hero

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

He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be soon

And he's got to 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 got to 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 he's gotta be soon

And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life
