"Holding Out For A Hero" lyrics

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
And 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 till the morning light
And he's gotta be sure, it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be 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
And 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 till the morning light
And he's gotta be sure, it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Out where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the seas
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 could feel his approach like a fire in my blood

Oh, I need a hero
Till the end of the night
He's gotta be fresh from the fight
Till the morning light
He's gotta be, gotta be, gotta be larger than life
