Bonnie Tyler: "Holding out for a Hero" – Jon Snow Stark Targaryen
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the Gods?
Where's the street-wise Azor Ahai
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a knight in black upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I 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
Somewhere before the Long Night
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the snow
And rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman
To sweep me off my feet
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero …
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero …
Up where the Wall meets the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flame
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood

The Prince that was Promised.
The Ultimate Hero
The Righteous Bastard
Jon Snow Stark Targaryen, a Realm is on its knees waiting for you.
Rise King Jon. Rise and deliver us from this bloody nightmare.
…
This song is actually for D&D, who apparently need a hero that ASOIAF and the show did not. I'm not too fond of turning Jon into this super cool, larger-than-life fantasy super hero, braver than most, more honest than the rest, merciful and forgiving like few, and just outshining everybody else …. I used to like Jon back when he was believable :(
… But this is who Jon is now, so … Long live King Jon! Long may he reign!
Piece of advice Jon: Kings tend not to last too long. Just in case, do not go hunting, do not go to weddings (not your own, not your uncle's), stay away from windows, do not cross bridges, do not cross an honorable woman knight bent on revenge, beware of shadows …
