Where have all the good men gone And where are 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 turn And 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, 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, he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasies Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder And rising with the heat Isn't there 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, 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, he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life
I pray the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I can swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me
Through the wind and then the chill and the rain And the storm and the raging flood Oh, his approaches like a fire in my blood
I'll meet a hero And then we'll dance till the morning light Dreaming, he will lead me Held tight, tonight's the night
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, 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, he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Larger than life Larger than life Oh baby, baby, baby, you know, ooh Oh
