Holding Out for a Hero

Lyrics

[Intro] Do-do, do-do Do-do, do-do Do-do, do-do Ah, ah [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 a white 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 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 (Hero) I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (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 [Post-Chorus] Do-do, do-do Do-do, do-do Do-do, do-do Ah, ah [Verse 2] 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, yeah [Chorus] 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 (Hero) I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till 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 till the end of the night [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] 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, like a fire in my blood) (Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, blood) [Chorus] I need a hero (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 (Hero) I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till 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 (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 (Hero) I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till 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 till the end of the night [Instrumental Outro]
