Where have all 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 he's 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 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...
|
|
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
|
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
|
I need a hero
|
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
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
|
I need a hero
|
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
