Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where´s the streetwise Hercules to fight the risin´ odds? Isn´t there the right 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 holdin´ out for a hero ´til the end of the night He´s gotta be strong and he´s gotta be fast And he´s got to be fresh from the fight I need a hero I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the mornin´ light He´s gotta be sure and he´s gotta be soon And he´s got to be larger than life Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach, there´s someone reachin´ back for me Racin´ on the thunder and risin´ with the heat
It´s gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah
I need a hero I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the end of the night He´s gotta be strong and he´s gotta be fast And he´s got to be fresh from the fight I need a hero I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the mornin´ light He´s gotta be sure and he´s gotta be soon And he´s got to be larger than life Larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightnin´ splits the sea I could swear there was someone somewhere watchin´ 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 holdin´ out for a hero ´til the end of the night He´s gotta be strong and he´s gotta be fast And he´s got to be fresh from the fight (I need) I need a hero (Yeah) I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the mornin´ light He´s gotta be sure and he´s gotta be soon And he´s got to be larger than life I need a hero I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the end of the night (I´m holdin´ out) He´s gotta be strong and he´s gotta be fast And he´s got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero I´m holdin´ out for a hero ´til the mornin´ light (Yeah, yeah) He´s gotta be sure and he´s gotta be soon And he´s got to be larger than life Larger than life
