[8 musical measures]
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
[REFRAIN]
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!
[8 musical measures]
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!
[REFRAIN]
[REPEAT REFRAIN]
I need a hero!!!
