Holding out for a Hero - from "Footloose"

Lyrics

Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods?
 Where's the streetwise 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
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
 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...
 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
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
 He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life
 I need a hero
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
 ♪
 Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
 Out where the lightning splits the sea
 I could swear there is 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)
 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
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
 He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life
 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
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
 He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life
 I need a hero
 I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
