"BONNIE is a uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs."

Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where are all the Gods?
Where's the streetwise 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
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 holdin' 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
Larger than life (ah, ah)
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 (yeah)
I need a hero
I'm holdin' 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 holdin' 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
I need a hero
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the Heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is 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 oh, oh)
I need a hero
I'm holdin' 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 holdin' 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
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 holdin' 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
I need a hero
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night

The song "Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler is a power ballad that's about waiting for the right man, someone who is strong, heroic, and larger than life. The opening stanza speaks of the need for a hero, and the questions about where all of the good men and heroes have gone. In the second and third stanzas, the singer describes her wildest fantasy of someone coming to rescue her, and she lists out characteristics such as being strong, fast, fresh from a fight, sure, and larger than life.
The chorus repeats and emphasizes the singer's desire for a hero to arrive, with the lyrics 'I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero until the end of the night'. The bridge describes an otherworldly feeling of someone watching her, even through storms and floods, and the desire for that person to come to her aid in a blaze of glory. The song ends with a refrain of the chorus and a repetition of "woos". People have interpreted this as a call to action for heroes to rise up and face the challenges of the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Where have all the good men gone
I am wondering where all the good men have disappeared to
And where are all the Gods?
I am unsure where all the powerful, god-like men are
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
I am in need of someone strong and determined enough to overcome challenges and obstacles
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
I am searching for someone brave and chivalrous enough to sweep me off my feet
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I am unable to sleep at night as I yearn for something specific that I desire
I need a hero
I require someone strong and fearless to save me in a time of need
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
I am waiting for this hero to come to me, even if it takes all night
He's gotta be strong
This hero must possess great physical strength
And he's gotta be fast
The hero must be quick and agile
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
This hero must have recently triumphed over a battle or challenge
And it's gotta be soon
I cannot wait much longer for this hero to appear
And he's gotta be larger than life
This hero must be grand, impressive, and awe-inspiring
Somewhere after midnight
At a time when most people are sleeping
In my wildest fantasy
In my most unreal and imaginative thoughts
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There exists something I desperately desire, but it's still unattainable
There's someone reaching back for me
There is someone who desires me as much as I desire them
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
This person is coming towards me with unwavering speed and passion
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet (yeah)
This person will need to be extraordinary, almost superhero-like to impress me
Up where the mountains meet the Heavens above
In a high and nearly unreachable place
Out where the lightning splits the sea
In a location where the elements are fierce and unforgiving
I could swear there is someone, somewhere, watching me
I have a feeling that someone is keeping a watchful eye on me
Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain, and the storm, and the flood
This person will endure anything just to be with me
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I can sense this person's energy and enthusiasm even before they arrive
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
I will wait for this hero until dawn if I have to
