Holding Out for a Hero Songtext
You need a hero
You′re 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You′re 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
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 you toss and you turn
And you dream of what you need
You need a hero
You′re 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You're 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Yeah!
Somewhere after midnight
In your wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond your reach
There′s someone reaching back for you
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep you off your feet
You need a hero
You're 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You're 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Yeah!
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
You can feel my approach
Like a fire in your blood
In your blood
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Yeah!
Hero
You′re 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You′re 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
You need a hero
You′re 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You′re 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
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 you toss and you turn
And you dream of what you need
You need a hero
You′re 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 from the fight
You need a hero
You're 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Yeah!

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

You′re 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
You need a hero
