Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Aaa-aaaa
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
I need a hero
I'm holding on 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 (hero)
I'm holding on for a hero 'till the morning light ('till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (gotta be larger than life)
Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Duu-duu-duu-duu...
Aaa-aaaa
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
I need a hero
I'm holding on 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 on 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
I need a hero
I'm holding on for a 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 there is 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 a fire in my blood
(Like a fire in my blood)
(Like a fire in my blood)
(Like a fire in my blood)
I need a hero
I'm holding on 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 (hero)
I'm holding on for a hero 'til the morning light ('till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (gotta be larger than life)
I need a hero
I'm holding on 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 (hero)
I'm holding on for a hero 'til the morning light ('till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (gotta be larger than life)
I need a hero
I'm holding on for a hero 'til the end of the night
