Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rise in our hearts?
Isn't there a whatnot upon a foresty?
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero, I'm holding over a hero

till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
He's got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero, I'm holding over a hero
till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
He's got to be larger than life, larger than life
He's got to be the diseases

So long, so long, oh oh oh oh I need a hero, I need a hero
I need a hero, I need a hero I need a hero, I need a hero
So long, so long I need a hero, I need a hero
My hero, I need a hero, I need a hero
Midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder
And arising with the heat
It's gonna take Superman
To sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding on for a hero
Till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
He's got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding on for a hero
Till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And he's gotta be soon
He's got to be strong
He's gotta be larger than life
Where the mountains meet the heavens above
Where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone, someone watching me
Through the wind, the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel a ship roast like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding on for a hero in the moment like
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
He's got to be fresh from the fire
