Holding out for a Hero Lyrics

You need a hero
You 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
You need a hero
You 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

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 you toss and you turn and you dream of what you need
You need a hero
You 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
You need a hero
You 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…
Oh…. Yeah!
Somewhere after midnight
In your wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond you reach
There's someone reaching back for your
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep you off your feet
You need a hero
You 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
You need a hero
You 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
Oh…. Yeah!
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 flood
You can feel my approach
Like a fire in your blood
…in your blood…
Oh…. Yeah!
You need a hero
You 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
You need a hero
You 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
You need a hero…
