Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods

Where's the street wise Hercules to fight the rising odds

He's an old 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 got to be strong and he's got to be fast

And he's got to be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon

And he's got to be legend alive

Hero's alive

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy

Somewhere past reach on my wrist there's someone waiting back for me yeah

Racing on the thunder in the 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 till the end of the night

He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast

And he's got to be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon

And he's got to be legend alive

I've heard the monsters in the heavens above

I've heard the lady split the sea

I would swear that there's someone somewhere walk to me oh yeah

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the blue

I can feel it so close like the fire in my blood

Oh lord oh lord oh lord oh lord

Lord lord

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast

And he's got to be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon

And he's got to be legend alive

I need a hero
