I 
I wish you could swim 
Like the dolphins 
Like dolphins can swim 
Though nothing 
Will keep us together 
We can beat them 
Forever and ever 
Oh we can be Heroes 
Just for one day 

I 
I will be king 
And you 
You will be queen 
Though nothing 
Will drive them away 
We can be Heroes 
Just for one day 
We can be us 
Just for one day 

I 
I can remember 
Standing 
By the wall 
And the guns 
Shot above our heads 
And we kissed 
As though nothing could fall 
And the shame 
Was on the other side 
Oh we can beat them 
For ever and ever 
Then we can be Heroes 
Just for one day 

We can be Heroes 
We can be Heroes 
We can be Heroes 
Just for one day
