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 risin' odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and turn and 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

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 till 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 reachin' back for me

Racin' on the thunder

Risin' 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

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 till 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)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Up where the lightning splits the sea

I would swear that there's someone somewhere watchin' me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel its approach like fire in my blood

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till 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 till 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 till 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)
