Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where're the street-wise Hercules's to fight the rising up? Isn't there a white knight upon a firy steed? Every night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need! (of what I need, of what I need) I need a hero! I'm holdin' out for a hero till 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 Up where the mountain mee the heaven's above Out where the lightning splits the sea I can swear there's someone somewhere watchin' me (oh watchin' me) Through the wind. the chill, and the rain Through the storm and the blood I got the eye of the approach like fire in my blood! (Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood!) Woah! Oh! I need a hero! I'm holdin' out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strongm 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 till 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!
