Holding out for a hero

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 I tess and turn
and 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 for the fight
I need a hero
I´m 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

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There´s someonereaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It´s gonna take a superman
to sweepme off my feet

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 for the fight
I need a hero
I´m 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

Up where the mountans
meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I woud swear that there´s
someone somewhere: Watching me!
Throught the wind and the
chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the 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 fresh for the fight
I need a hero
I´m 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

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 for the fight
I need a hero
I´m 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...
