Emery - Holding Out for a Hero lyrics

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
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 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
Larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning split's 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
