Song Info

[Verse 1]
Where have all the good men gone
and where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to
fight the risin’ odds?
Isn’t there the right knight upon a
fiery steed?
Late at night, I toss and I turn and
I dream of what I need

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong and
he’s gotta be fast
And he’s got to be
fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the mornin’ light
He’s gotta be sure and he’s gotta be soon
And he’s got to be larger than life
Larger than life
[Verse 2]
Somewhere after midnight in
my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond
my reach, there’s
someone reachin’ back for me
Racin’ on the thunder and
risin’ with the heat
It’s gonna take a Superman to
sweep me off my feet, yeah

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong and
he’s gotta be fast
And he’s got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the mornin’ light
He’s gotta be sure and he’s gotta be soon
And he’s got to be larger than life
Larger than life

[Bridge]
Up where the mountains
meet the heavens above
Out where the lightnin’ splits the sea
I could swear there was someone
somewhere watchin’ me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a
fire in my blood

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong and
he’s gotta be fast
And he’s got to be fresh from
the fight (I need)
I need a hero (Yeah)
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the mornin’ light
He’s gotta be sure and
he’s gotta be soon
And he’s got to be larger than life
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero ’til the end
of the night (I’m holdin’ out)
He’s gotta be strong and
he’s gotta be fast
And he’s got to be
fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holdin’ out for a hero
’til the mornin’ light (Yeah, yeah)
He’s gotta be sure and
he’s gotta be soon
And he’s got to be larger than life
Larger than life
