Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where`s the great white 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 till the end of the night
he`s gotta be strong and he`s gotta be fast
and 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 and 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
It`s gonna take 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 and he`s gotta be fast
and 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 and he`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
I the mountains neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can 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 till the end of the night
he`s gotta be strong and he`s gotta be fast
and 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 and he`s gotta be soon
And he`s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
