Holding Out for a Hero

Where have all the good ones 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

She's gotta be strong, and she's gotta be fast

And she's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

She's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon

And she's gotta be larger than life

Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere, just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder

And rising with the heat

It's gonna take a Superwoman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

She's gotta be strong, and she's gotta be fast

And she's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

She's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon

And she's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

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

And the storm and the flood

I can feel her 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, like a fire in my blood, blood)

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

She's gotta be strong, and she's gotta be fast

And she's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

She's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon

And she's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

She's gotta be strong, and she's gotta be fast

And she's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

She's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon

And she's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
