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 night I toss and I turn and I 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 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 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
gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. He's gotta be strong 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 I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could there is someone somewhere watching me. 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 end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta fresh from the fight. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the 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 'til the end of the night.
