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 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 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
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
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
