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 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!

I need a hero!
I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light,
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be 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!
