---------------
Today I found a nickel
And I held it in my hand
I wished it lots of luck as I
Gave it to the homeless man
He said God bless you
I said God bless us both
He smiled and started laughing
I guess I told a joke
Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now
Today I had a notion I had
To call up my old friend
She said she had a
Poem for me
And did I hear that
She was thinking of leaving
I said I will miss you
And then
I played her my new song
We laughed and cried
We never said goodbye
And when I called again
She was gone
Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now
Today I made a dollar and
I'm feeling very rich
I earned it with my labor
Yes I dug my ditch
I'm free from all my worries
And I cast away my doubts
I am living in this moment
And tomorrow's gonna
Work itself out
Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now(Jim Steinman and Dean Pitchford)

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 toss and turn and dream of what I need
(Chorus)
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
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
(Chorus)
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's 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 the fire in my blood
(Chorus)
