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 I dream of what I needI 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 gotta be fresh from the fightSomewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for meRacing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman
To sweep me off my feetI 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 gotta be fresh from the fightI need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than lifeI the mountains 'neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear that there's someone somewhere watching meThrough the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my bloodI 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 gotta be fresh from the fightI need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
