Holding Out for a Hero 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 dream of what I need

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 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

Up Where the mountains

meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could 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 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
