Holding Out For a Hero

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 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 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
