Lyrics

Yeah
Hey
Yeah

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise 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
But he's gotta be strong, 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, gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Oh, yeah

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, oh

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
Gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Gotta be sure, gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
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 there is 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 blood, like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
But he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
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
Gotta be larger than life

Than life, life
A hero 'til the end of the night
Gotta be strong
Gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
Got to be larger than life

I need a hero
