I Need A Hero

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 turn and 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



[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 end the chill and the rain 

And the storm and the flood 

I can feel his approach 

Like the fire in my blood



[Chorus 2x]
