Текст песни:

Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Wheres the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isnt 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,
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night,
Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast,
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero,
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light,
Hes gotta be sure
And its gotta be soon,
And hes gotta be larger than life.
Larger than life...

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
Theres someone reaching back for me.

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
Its gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea,
I could swear that theres 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.

I need a hero,
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light,
Hes gotta be sure
And its gotta be soon,
And hes gotta be larger than life

Hes gotta be strong
And hes gotta be fast,
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight
