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 turn
and 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 it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be 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 '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 it'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 mountins meet the
heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would 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 a fire in my blook
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 it'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
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 it'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
