Holding out for a Hero Lyrics

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 Fresh from the fight.
I need a hero

I"m Holding out for a hero till the morning light

He's gotta Sure, He's gotta be soon, 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 Fresh from the fight.

I need a hero
I"m Holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta Sure, He's gotta be soon, 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 approach is 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
Oooooh
Larger than life
Larger than life
Oh baby, baby, baby, you know, ooh
Oh
