Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the street-wise 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

(Ah-ah)

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 (hero)

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

He's gotta be sure (ooh)

And it's gotta be soon (ooh)

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 (ooh)

It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out 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 the fire in my blood

Like the fire in my blood

Like the fire in my blood

Like the fire in my blood

Like the fire in my blood

Hero

I need a hero (hero)

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

And he's gotta be sure (ooh)

And it's gotta be soon (ooh)

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

And he's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
