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 [Chorus] 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 Since a young boy my heart has always envied this song - my heart has always been touched by it. This is actually my favourite song of all time, purely because I dream the lyrics (the ones above standing out the most) to be of me ..to be that very man the song screams for to exist. I reiterate; 'Begging God to be this man... The Hero?! The Saviour?! Perhaps the man who nobody really knew'.
