    Lyrics:
    1 2 3
    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 till the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong
    He's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
    Da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
    Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies
    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 till the end of the night
    He's gotta be strong
    He's gotta be fast
    And he's gotta be larger than life
    I pray the mountains meet the heavens above
    Where the lightning splits the sea
    I could swear there's someone somewhere watching me
    Through the wind and the chill and the rain
    And the storm and the raging flood
    Oh, his approach is like fire in my blood
    I'll meet a hero
    And then we'll dance till the morning light
    Dreaming, he will lead me
    Held tight, tonight's the night
    I need a hero
    I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till the morning light
    He's gotta be sure
    He's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
    Da da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
    Larger than life
    Larger than life
    Larger than life

    I cry Everytime I hear this song, it literally touches me in a way that hurts.
    Her voice is so beautiful, and I can relate to this video. I used to be so hard on myself, telling myself that I was never enough. I had the worst depression, I never thought I could get out. I never asked for help, I was always looking for it but it never came.
    Until now, I have found my hero and he has brought me from the ground and now I'm flying. I'm happier than I've ever been, I never thought I would be the person I am today.
    Never give up, you have a person searching for you and you'll receive them one day. I believe in you.

    Listening to this song, actually helps me a lot. Ive been through a lot lately, finding out everyone in my life only knows how to tell lies, i sing this song everyday and in a weird way it helps. Idk the whole concept of "i need a hero" doesnt necessarily mean shes looking for a man to be her hero, it means where are the people who we really need these days, they need to be there , be our hero. 😔 this song not only helps , but has also given me a goal. Im 14 years and Im going to audition for the voice, season 11 with this song. Hopefully it not just touches me but also the judges with the words and the way i hope to perform it.

    My grandmother is my hero. She had multiple strokes and lived, she was the strongest person I knew. I wanted to be strong like her.
    She was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer that the doctors found on accident. They decided to run another scan and found out she also had late stage brain cancer.
    I broke down in tears because she wouldn't live and only had a little while left.
    She passed away on September 3, 2016 at 5:30 a.m.
    I still miss her and cry, she was my hero and she will always be. She was the greatest person I knew.
    I miss you grandma....❤️

    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
    [Chorus:]
    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 larger than life, larger than life
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Somewhere after midnight
    In my wildest fantasies
    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?
    [Chorus:]
    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 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
    Oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood
    I'll meet a hero
    And then we'll dance 'til the morning light
    Dreaming, he'll lead me
    Held tight,
    Tonight's the night
    [Chorus:]
    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 sure, he's gotta be soon
    And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Oh
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Larger than life
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Larger than life
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Oh maybe, maybe, maybe tonight
    (Dada dada dada dada da)
    Oh, oh
