Ellen Foley - Holding Out for a Hero lyrics
[Ellen Foley - Holding Out for a Hero lyrics]
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
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 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
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
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til
The end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning split's the sea
I could swear there is
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
A fire in my blood
(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in
My blood, like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood)
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
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
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til
The end of the night
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
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 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
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
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

He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
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
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til
The end of the night
