Holding Out for a Hero Songtext
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 the 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 he′s 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 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 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 he′s 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
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there′s someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the waves
And 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
Like a fire in my - (Ah-hah)
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 he's 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
And where are all the gods?
Where′s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight
Upon the 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 he′s 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 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 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 he′s 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
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there′s someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the waves
And 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
Like a fire in my - (Ah-hah)
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 he's 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
