"Holding Out for a Hero" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I once wrote an alternate version where the hero was a girl.
Which of her songs makes you smile?
Here's the lyrics to my alternative version if you're curious:
Intro]
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Ah, ah
[Verse 1]
Where have all the good women gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Xena to fight the risin' odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night, I tossed and I turned and I dreamt of what I needed
[Chorus]
I needed a hero
I was holding out for a hero till the end of the night
She's gotta be bold and he's gotta be fast
And she's gotta be fresh from the fight
I found a hero (Hero)
I was holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till the morning light)
Said she's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Ah, ah
[Verse 2]
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 Wonder Woman to sweep me off my feet, yeah
[Chorus]
I needed a hero
Then I found my a hero at the end of the night
She's bold and she's fast
And she's fresh from the fight
I needed a hero (Hero)
I found a hero at the morning light (Hero at the morning light)
She's sure and it's soon
And she's larger than life
I needed a hero
I was holding out for a hero till the end of the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I swore there was someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I could feel her 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, blood)
[Chorus]
I needed a hero (Hero)
I was holding out for a hero till the end of the night
This one's bod and she's fast
And she's fresh from the fight
I needed a hero (Hero)
I was holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till the morning light)
She sure and it's now
And she's larger than life
I needed a hero (Hero)
I was holding out for a hero till the end of the night
This hero's bold and she's so fast
And she's fresh from the fight
I needed a hero (Hero)
I was holding out for a hero till the morning light (Hero till the morning light)
She's sure and now
And she's larger than life
I needed a hero
I was holding out for a hero till the end of the night
And found her
