Holding Out for a Hero

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 turn and 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, 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 end 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 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be larger than life Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the raging flood Oh his approach is like the fire in my blood I'll need a hero And then we'll dance till the morning light Dreaming he'll lead, he'll tight tonight's the night I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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 'til 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, tonight
