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

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

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasies

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

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero

Till the end of the night

Upwhere the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could 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 a fire in my blood

burn, burn, burn...

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 her

Till the morning light

He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a her

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

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero

Till the end of the night

evil is evil. Smaller or larger. There is no difference
