Jennifer Saunders - Holding On For A Hero 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 '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. 
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 

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. 
and He's gotta be sure 
and it's gotta be soon 

And he's gotta be larger than life. 

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast 

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero.
