Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Wheres the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isnt there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
I need a hero, Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night,
Hes gotta be strong and hes gotta be fast,
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero, Im holding out for a hero til the morning light,
Hes gotta be sure, and its gotta be soon,
And hes gotta be larger than life...
Larger than life.
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Aaah aaah
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach theres someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Its gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
I need a hero, Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night,
Hes gotta be strong and hes gotta be fast,
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero, Im holding out for a hero til the morning light,
Hes gotta be sure, and its gotta be soon,
And hes gotta be larger than life...
I need a hero,
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
break ...
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 flood,
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
