    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 toss and turn and 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 it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    Larger than life
    Somewhere after midnight
    In my wildest fantasy
    Somewhere just beyond my reach
    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
    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 blood
    Hero
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
    And he's gotta be sure
    And it's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    Hero
    And he's gotta be strong
    And he's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
