Where have all the good men gone <br />And where are all the gods? <br />Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? <br />Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? <br />Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need <br /><br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night <br />He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast be fresh from the fight <br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light <br />He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon <br /><br />And he's gotta be larger than life … larger than life <br /><br />Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy <br />Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me <br />Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat <br />It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet <br /><br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night <br />He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast <br />And he's gotta be fresh from the fight <br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light <br />He's gotta be sure and be larger than life <br />A hero 'til the end of the night <br /><br />Up where the mountains meet the heavens above <br />Out where the lightning splits the sea <br />I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me <br />Through the wind and the chill and the rain <br />And the storm and the flood <br />I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood <br /><br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. <br />He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast <br />And he's gotta be fresh from the fight <br />I need a hero <br />I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light <br />He's gotta be sure and be larger than life <br /><br />I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night …
