holding out for a hero
Singer:bowen, ella mae
three. 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 turn and dream of what i need
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
and he's gotta be larger than life
somewhere just beyond my reach
there's someone reaching back for me
racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
and he's gotta be larger than life
up where 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 raging flood
his approach is like a fire in my blood
and then we'll dance 'til the morning light
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
and he's gotta be larger than life
