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 a night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need I need a hero! I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, 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 till the morning light He's gotta be sure, he'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 till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, 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 till the morning light He's gotta be sure, he'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 Up 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, 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, he'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, 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, he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Larger than life
