holding out for a hero

Lyrics

one, two, three. 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, 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, 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, isn't there 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, 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, he's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life, 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 raging flood, oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood, i'll meet a hero, and then we'll dance 'til the morning light, dreaming, he'll lead me, held tight, tonight's the night, i need a hero, i'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night, he's gotta be strong, 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, he's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life, oh, larger than life, larger than life, oh maybe, maybe, maybe tonight, oh, oh
