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 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
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 'til 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 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
I need a hero
I'm holding for a hero 'til the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear that there is 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 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
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 from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He´s gotta be sure and he´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
