Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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, I dream of what I need
[Verse 2]
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the end of the night
But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
Got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
[Verse 3]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder, rising with the heat
Ha, it's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
[Verse 5]
Oh, I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the end of the night
But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
Gotta be sure, gotta be soon
Got to be larger than life
Larger than life
A hero till the end of the night
[Verse 6]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
The storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood
[Verse 7]
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the end of the night
But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
Gotta be larger than life
Than life, life, life, life
[Verse 8]
Hero till the end of the night
Gotta be strong
Gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
Got to be larger than life
I need a hero
