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 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 from 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. 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 ´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 it´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 would 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 ´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 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 from 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.
