I, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing can drive them away
We can beat them - just for one day
We can be heroes - just for one day
What do you say?

I, I would be king
And you, you would be my queen
And nothing could take us away
And nothing and no-one would beat us
We can be heroes just for one day

And I, I can remember
Standing, standing by the wall
And the guns, the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, it fell on the other side
We can beat them - forever and ever
We can be heroes - just for one day

What do you say - I say
We can be heroes, yeah
We can be heroes - I say
We can be heroes - I say now
We can be heroes
Though nothing, and no-one will help us
Maybe we're lying, yeah
Then you better not stay
We can be heroes
