Holding Out For A Hero - Jennifer Saunders | Lyric Lanes

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
Performed by: Jennifer Saunders
From the Animated Movie: Shrek 2 (2004)

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 I turn
And I 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 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 till 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 can 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 till the morning light
And he's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Oh, he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
