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 till the end of the night
|
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
|
And 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 fantasies
|
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 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
|
Up where the mountains neath the heavens above
|
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
|
I can 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 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 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 |
