==Lyrics==
:Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?Where's the streetwise 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 heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fastAnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning lightHe's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeLarger than life 
:Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasySomewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for meRacing on the thunder and rising with the heatIt's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
:[Chorus]I need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fastAnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning lightHe's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night 
:Up where the mountains meet the heavens aboveOut where the lightning splits the seaI could swear there is someone somewhere watching meThrough the wind and the chill and the rainAnd the storm and the floodI 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, like a fire in my blood)
:[Chorus]I need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fastAnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning lightHe's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the nightHe's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fastAnd he's gotta be fresh from the fightI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning lightHe's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soonAnd he's gotta be larger than lifeI need a heroI'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
