|
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 |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
