Song lyrics

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...

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 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 '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...

I need a hero...
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the 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...

Like a 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!
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...

I need a hero!





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...

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 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 '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...

I need a hero...
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the 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...

Like a 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! 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...

I need a hero!
