"Holding Our for a Hero" by Ella Mae Bowen (click here for original website)

One, two three
 
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and 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 larger than life
Larger than life (background chorus)

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
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet

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 larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
His approach is
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
And then we'll dance 'til the morning light
Dreaming he'll leave me held tight tonight's the night

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night 
He's gotta be strong
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 strong
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Larger than life (background chorus)

Oh, larger than life
Larger than life
Oh, babe, babe
Ready tonight
Oh
