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 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
He's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there 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
He's gotta be fast
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
He's gotta be strong
He's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the Heavens above
Up where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there is someone, somewhere
Watching me

I need a hero
And then we'll dance 'til the morning light
Dreaming he'll need me
He'll take tonight's the night

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
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
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

I need a hero
