Holding Out For A Hero
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?Where's the great white 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 heroI'm holding out for a hero till the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero till the morning lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeLarger than life
Somewhere after midnightIn my wildest fantasiesSomewhere just beyond my reachThere's someone reaching back for meRacing on the thunder and rising with the heatIt's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a heroI'm holding out for a hero till the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero till the morning lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeLarger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens aboveOut where the lightning splits the seaI would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rainAnd the storm and the floodI can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I need a heroI'm holding out for a hero till the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero till the morning lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeLarger than life
