Lyrics
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
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life
Gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
Hero
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He′s gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
Gotta be 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 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, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life
Gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
Hero
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life
