Holding Out for a Hero

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life [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 [Chorus] 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 he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life [Bridge] Up where the mountains 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 the fire in my blood [Chorus] 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 he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life
