Holding Out For A Hero

Shrek

[Bonus Track]


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 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


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


[Chorus]


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


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


[Chorus]
