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. 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!
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 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 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 hoXding out for a hero `til the end of the night
