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 a hero till the end of the night! He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast, And 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! 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, It's gonna take a Superman, to sweep me off my feet!
Up, where the mountains neath the heavens above, Out where the lightning strikes the sea, I can 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 morning light. He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life!
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast, And gotta be fresh, from the fight! I need a hero!
