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 while knight 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
`Til 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
`Til 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
`Til 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
`Til 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
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lighting splits the sea
I could 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
a fire in my blood
I need a hero, I`m holding out for a hero
`Til 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
`Til 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
