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
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
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, rising with the heat
He's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
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
The storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my vein, like a fire in my vein
Like a fire in my vein, like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and it's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and it's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
