Joss Stone - Holding Out For A Hero lyrics
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)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
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)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
(A hero)
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, oh
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
And 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)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
Gotta be larger than life
(A hero)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
(Watching, watching)
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(For a hero)
And he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
He's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
(I'm holding out)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
(For a hero)
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
He's gotta be larger than life
(A hero)
(I'm holding out)
(For a hero)
For a hero, ooh
(I'm holding out)
Holding out
(For a hero)
