C minor, put it in c minor



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 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 he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

(Hero)

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light

(hero till the morning)

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

(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



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 flood

I can feel his approach

Like a fire in my blood

(like a fire in my blood)

(like a fire in my blood)

(like a fire in my blood)

(like a fire in my blood)



(hero)



I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light

(till the morning)

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life



(Hero)



and He's gotta be strong

and he's gotta be fast

and he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a Hero
