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 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 at 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 He´s gotta be sure And it´s gotta be soon And 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 '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 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 holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning strikes 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 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 fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till 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 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 He's gotta be sure And he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
