Hungry for Heaven

Hungry for Heaven" was the seventh single released by heavy metal band Dio and the second single from their 1985 LP, Sacred Heart. Many different versions of the single exist; the original UK release had the B-side songs "King of Rock and Roll" and a live version of "Like the Beat of a Heart". An international version, however, had live versions of the songs "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark" on the B-side, with a different sleeve design.[1] The Australian release featured "The Last in Line" on the B-side, but this may have been a promotional release.[2] The single peaked at number thirty on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart. A different version of this song also made an appearance in the 1985 movie Vision Quest.

You're a dancer But you're dancing on air Just a matter of time till you fall You're a dreamer, one night at the fair But still you want it all You're in danger, the last of a line But the vision lasts forever So just hold on You can make it happen for you Reach for the stars and You will fly You're hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven, hungry for Heaven But you need a little Hell You're a runner But you're chasing yourself Feel a hot breath on your shoulder Your emotion Running cold, running warm The young just getting older We are sunlight We can sparkle and shine and Our dreams are what we're made of Just hold on You can make it happen for you Reach for the stars and You will fly You're hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven, hungry for Heaven But you need a little Hell Hungry You're hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven, hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven You're hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven So hungry for Heaven You're hungry for Heaven You're a dancer But you're dancing on air You're a dreamer, one night at the fair You're hungry, hungry there for Heaven You're a runner in the night Just a dreamer, but that's alright You're hungry, hungry for Heaven Hungry, hungry for Heaven Hungry for Heaven, hungry for Heaven
