Where is gallant Galahad to take the bridle rein? [WHITNEY] Is there not a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need [H] 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 [W] 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 Erelong at the witching hour within my reverie Somewhere just beyond the veil someone reacheth out for me [H] Racing on a courser and clad in gleaming mail I shall answer none but he who bringeth me the grail [W] Aaah, 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 [H] I need a hero I shall hold out for a hero ’til the morning light By god was he blessed E’er true to his quest A man of whom Chaucer will write [W] Up where the dragons glide near heaven above Out on a storm-tossed odyssey Verily doth a saintly champion ride toward me [H] Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain The plague, and the flood I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood [BOTH] 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 A knight, not a pawn A true paragon With armor and eyes shining bright I need a hero ** THANKS FOR WATCHING! :) ** If you’re reading this, comment “Verily, a dream team!” below.
