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 night upon a firey steed
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holdin' 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 holdin' out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
An' 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 holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
*** Instrumental ***
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning spikes the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watchin me
Throught the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in the blood
Like a fire in the blood
Like a fire in the blood
Like a fire in the blood
Like a fire in the blood, 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 holdin' 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 holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
