Holding Out For A Hero Lyrics By Bonnie Tyler

    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

    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
    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

    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
    i need a hero
    i’m holding out 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 like a fire in my blood

    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
    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
    i need a hero
    i’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
