Take me to the roads where I used to drive
Away from small town schemes
Cobblestones on bumpy roads
To the life on silver screens
Memories from a life escaping
When the dark is closing in
After storms have passed I see at last
The magic can begin

There I see the guiding light
The star you're born to be
I realise your love has set me free

We could be heroes
We could be angels in the sky
From the rainbow's end to heavensent
We spread our wings and fly
We could be heroes
We could be lovers you and I
And when angels fall and curtains call
We climb the mountains high
We could be heroes

Take me to the streets where I used to walk
The dreams I sacrificed
Sticks and stones when angels talked
Whispering sweet advice
Every night I sleep without you
Every breath you take away
Becomes a foolish game a crying shame
Leading me astray

Then I see the guiding light
The star you're born to be
I realise your love has set me free

We could be heroes
We could be angels in the sky
From the rainbow's end to heavensent
We spread our wings and fly
We could be heroes
We could be lovers you and I
And when angels fall and curtains call
We climb the mountains high
We could be heroes

We could be heroes
We could be angels in the sky
From the rainbow's end to heavensent
We spread our wings and fly
We could be heroes
We could be lovers you and I
And when angels fall and curtains call
We climb the mountains high
We could be heroes

Na na na we could be heroes
Na na na we could be heroes
Na na na we could be heroes
Na na na na na na
We could be heroes
