Lyrics

I, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins
Like dolphins can swimThough nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever

Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive us away

Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
Oh, we can be us
Just for one day

I, I can remember
Standing, standing by the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
The shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them
Forever and ever

And we can be heroes
Just for one day
