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 turn and dream of what I needI 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 fightI 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
Larger than lifeSomewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder, 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 '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 fightI 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
Larger than lifeUp where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would 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 '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 fightI 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 lifeI 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 fightI 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
Larger than life
