Holding Out for a Hero - Ella Mae Bowen

Where have all the good men gone

And where are the gods

Where's the streetwise Hercules

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 need a hero

Holding out for a hero

Till the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

He's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero

Till the morning light

He's gotta be sure

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

Isn't there 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

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

He's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

I pray the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I can swear that there's someone somewhere

Watching me

Through the wind and then the chill and the rain

And the storm and the raging flood

Oh his approaches like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero

And then we'll dance till the morning light

Dreaming he will lead me

Held tight tonight's the night

I need a hero

Holding out for a hero

Till the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

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

He's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

Larger than life

Larger than life

Larger than life

Oh baby baby baby you know ooh

Oh
