Holding Out For A Hero

(albüm: Simply Believe - 2004)

Where have all the good men gone
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, 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
Got to 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

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder, rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

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
Got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Gotta be sure
Gotta be soon
Got to be larger than life
Larger than life

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 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

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
Got to 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 larger than life
Than life, life, life, life

Hero 'til the end of the night!
Gotta be sure
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!
