Holding Out For A Hero

1. 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

[Chorus:]
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.

(dada dada dada dada da)

2. 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?

[Chorus]

3. 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 will lead me
Held tight
Tonight's the night.

[Chorus]

(dada dada dada dada da)
Oh
(dada dada dada dada da)
Larger than life
(dada dada dada dada da)
Larger than life
(dada dada dada dada da).

Oh maybe, maybe, maybe tonight
(dada dada dada dada da)
Oh, oh.
