Holding Out For A Hero Lyrics by Shrek

Holding Out For A Hero

C minor put it in C minor

Where have all 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 I 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 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

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

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 flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

Like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my... blood

Hero

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

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
