Holding Out for a Hero

Where have all the good men goneAnd where are all the gods?Where's the streetwise HerculesTo fight the risin' odds?Isn't there the right knight upon a fiery steed?Late at night, I toss and I turnAnd I dream of what I needI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastAnd he's got to be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's got to be larger than lifeLarger than lifeSomewhere after midnightin my wildest fantasySomewhere just beyond my reachThere's someone reachin' back for meRacin' on the thunder and risin' with the heatIt's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeahI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastAnd he's got to be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's got to be larger than lifeLarger than lifeUp where the mountains meet the heavens aboveOut where the lightnin' splits the seaI could swear there was someoneSomewhere watchin' meThrough the wind and the chill and the rainAnd the storm and the floodI can feel his approach like a fire in my bloodI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastAnd he's got to be fresh from the fight (I need)I need a hero (Yeah)I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' lightHe's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's got to be larger than lifeI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero'til the end of the night (I'm holdin' out)He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fastAnd he's got to be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holdin' out for a hero'til the mornin' light (Yeah, yeah)He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soonAnd he's got to be larger than lifeLarger than life
