Holding Out for a Hero |
| [Verse 1: Hildegard & |
| Whitney |
| Whither have the worthy gone, oh, where is fair Gawain? |
| Where is gallant Galahad to take the bridle rein? |
| Is there not a white knight upon a fiery steed? |
| Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need |
| [Chorus: Hildegard & |
| Whitney |
| I need a hero |
| I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night |
| I pray he be hale, wingèd of heel |
| And newly return’d from the fight |
| I need a hero |
| I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light |
| He must be assur’d, e’er true to his word |
| With a wit that will thrill and excite |
| Thrill and excite |
| Ahhh, ahhh |
| [Verse 2: Hildegard & |
| Whitney |
| Erelong at the witching hour within my reverie |
| Somewhere just beyond the veil someone reacheth out for me |
| Racing on a courser and clad in gleaming mail ( |
| Oooh |
| I shall answer none but he who bringeth me the grail ( |
| Aaah! |
| [Chorus: Hildegard, |
| Whitney |
| Both |
| I need a hero |
| I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night |
| Could I but afford, my very own sword |
| I would not require his might |
| I need a hero ( |
| Hero |
| I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light ( |
| Ahhh |
| By god was he blessed, e’er true to his quest |
| A man of whom |
| Chaucer will write |
