(Jim Steinman & Dean Pitchford)
|
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 toss and turn and 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 it's gotta be soon
|
And he's gotta be 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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]
|

Holding Out For A Hero
