Holding Out For A Hero

                                  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 '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!

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.

I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above



Out where the lightning splits the sea



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 can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.

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.

I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
