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
I need a hero
Yeah
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
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
Through 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 larger than life
Larger than life
I need a hero
Yeah
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
