Holding out for a Hero (from "Footloose")

Holding out for a Hero (from "Footloose") - Bonnie Tyler

Lyrics by：Jim Steinman/D. Pitchford

Composed by：Jim Steinman/D. Pitchford

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

'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

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

Yeah

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 it'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 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

'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 it'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

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 it'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
