Holding Out for a Hero

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the risin' odds? Isn't there the right knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need [Chorus] I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's got to be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's got to be larger than life Larger than life [Verse 2] Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reachin' back for me Racin' on the thunder and risin' with the heat It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah [Chorus] I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's got to be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's got to be larger than life Larger than life [Bridge] Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightnin' splits the sea I could swear there was someone somewhere watchin' 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 [Chorus] I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's got to be fresh from the fight (I need) I need a hero (Yeah) I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's got to be larger than life I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night (I'm holdin' out) He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's got to be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light (Yeah, yeah) He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's got to be larger than life Larger than life
