 
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 I turn and I dream of what I need 
I need a hero 
I'm holding out for a hero till 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, fresh from the fight
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 till the end of the night 
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast 
and gotta be fresh from the fight 
I need a hero 
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light 
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon 
And he's gotta be larger than life, 
Larger than life 
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 and the chill and the rain 
and the storm and the flood 
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood 
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my blood,
Like the fire in my (ohh ohh)
He's a big city kid in a small town,
They said he couldn't do it,
He knew he had to.
