I wish you could swim
 Like the dolphins
 Like dolphins can swim
 Though nothing
 Will keep us together
 We can beat them
 For ever 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
