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
  (  let ring)
 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 then life
, , ,  FOR
 Do do do do do do do do do do
 Do do do do do do
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
Isn't  there 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
 larger then life
 (/)
 Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out  where the lightning splits the sea
 I could  swear that there's someone, somewhere
Watching  me
Through  the wind and the chill and the rain
And  the storm and the raging flood
I  can feel his approach
 just Like  the fire in  my blood
 Ill meet a  hero
 And then  we'll dance  till morning light
 Dreaming he'll  leave me,
 He'll die  tonight's the night
 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 then life.
 There is probably errors, I know. It's kind of hit and miss. If so, leave me a comment
 and I will correct them! or you can.
