Shrek - Holding Out For A Hero lyrics

rate me

C minor put it in C minor<br />

<br />

Where have all good men gone<br />

And where are all the gods?<br />

Where’s the street-wise Hercules<br />

To fight the rising odds?<br />

<br />

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?<br />

Late at night I toss and I turn and dream of what I need<br />

<br />

I need a hero<br />

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night<br />

He’s gotta be strong<br />

And he’s gotta be fast<br />

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight<br />

I need a hero<br />

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light<br />

He’s gotta be sure<br />

And it’s gotta be soon<br />

And he’s gotta be larger than life<br />

<br />

Larger than life<br />

<br />

Somewhere after midnight<br />

In my wildest fantasy<br />

Somewhere just beyond my reach<br />

There’s someone reaching back for me<br />

<br />

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat<br />

It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet<br />

<br />

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above<br />

Out where the lightning splits the sea<br />

I could swear that there’s someone somewhere<br />

Watching me<br />

<br />

Through the wind and the chill and the rain<br />

And the storm and the flood<br />

I can feel his approach<br />

Like a fire in my blood<br />

<br />

Like a fire in my blood<br />

Like a fire in my blood<br />

Like a fire in my blood<br />

Like a fire in my... blood<br />

<br />

Hero<br />

<br />

I need a hero<br />

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light<br />

He’s gotta be sure<br />

And it’s gotta be soon<br />

And he’s gotta be larger than life<br />

<br />

Hero<br />

And he’s gotta be strong<br />

And he’s gotta be fast<br />

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight<br />

<br />

I need a hero
