天籁音乐:Holding Out For A Hero

Holding Out For A Hero

where have all the good men gone
and where are all the gods?
where's the street-wise Hercules
to fight the rising odds¹?
isn't there a white knight² upon a fiery³ steed?
late at night I toss and I turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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 'til the morning light
he's gotta be sure
and he's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life

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 'til 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 'til 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 'til the end of the night

up where the mountains meet the heavens above
out where the lightning splits 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

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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 'til the morning light
he's gotta be sure
and he's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life
