Holding Out For a Hero

Where have all the good men gone and where are all 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 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 It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And it's gotta be larger than life, larger than life I need a hero I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And it's gotta be larger than life Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Or where the lightning 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 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 larger than life, larger than life I need a hero I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light It's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And it's gotta be larger than life
