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 need
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
Up where the mountins
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 a fire in my blook
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
I need a hero -
