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 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
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
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 raging flood
oh his approach is like a fire in my blood
i’ll meet a hero
and then we will dance til the morning light
dreaming he’ll lead me
he’ll say 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
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
maybe tonight
