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 till 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, fresh from the fight


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

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till 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


Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood

Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,

Like the fire in my (ohh ohh)

He's a big city kid in a small town,

They said he couldn't do it,
He knew he had to.
