Do We Need A Hero?

I've had just enough time...   to stop wishing for a hero to fight my fight.

Taken while walking in the street of Beirut, Lebanon.

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 turn and dream
of what I need

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 holding 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

Bonnie Tyler - "I Need A Hero"

We need a hero,
We need him to be strong,
We need him to be fast,
We need him to make things right.

We need a hero,
We waited through the night
Till the early morning light.
Till they come with their might.

Till they took us away,
We were still waiting for our hero…
