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 knight i toss and turn and dream of what i need
i need a hero
im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
he's got to be strong
and he's got to be fast
and he's got to fresh from the fight
i need a hero im holding out for a hero til the morning light
he's got to be sure
and it's got to be soon
and he's got to be 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 and rising with the heat
it's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
i need a hero
im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
he's got to be strong
and he's got to be fast
and he's got to fresh from the fight
i need a hero im holding out for a hero til the morning light
he's got to be sure
and it's got to be soon
and he's got to be larger than life
up where the montains meet the heavens above
and the lightning splits the sea
i know there's someone somewhere
watching me
in the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the sea
i can feel his approach
like a fire in my blood
i need a hero
im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
he's got to be strong
and he's got to be fast
and he's got to fresh from the fight
i need a hero im holding out for a hero til the morning light
he's got to be sure
and it's got to be soon
and he's got to be larger than life
-bonnie tyler, i need a hero
