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 till 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 till the morning light
It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And it's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

I need a hero

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And it's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Or where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's 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 till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

I need a hero

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And it's gotta be larger than life
