Holding out for a Hero - Aviators

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 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 fantasies

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 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

Up where the mountains neath the heavens above

Out where the lightning strikes the sea

I can 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

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 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
