Track Title: Holding Out For A Hero Album Title: Soundtrack, Footloose Prime Artist: Bonnie Tyler Written by: James Richard Steinman Written by: Dean Pitchford Lyrics: Where have all the good men gone, where are all the Gods Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds Isn't there a white knight, upon a firey 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 he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone too bad for me Raising all that 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 he'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 Up where the life is fantasy I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me The wind and the chill of the rain and the drought and the flood I can feel his approach like it's 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 he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life |
