Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
[Verse 2]
Though, nothing
Nothing will keep us together (Keep, keep, keep us together)
We can be them
Forever, ever and ever
[Verse 3]
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
Yeah (One day-ay-ay-ay)
[Verse 4]
I, I will be king
And you, oh you, you will be queen
[Verse 5]
Though, nothing
Nothing will drive in my way
[Verse 6]
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 7]
I, I-I, I can remember
Standin' by the wall
And the guns, oh the guns
Shout above our head
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)
And the shade was on the other side (Keep, keep, keep us together)
[Verse 8]
Oh, we can be them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 9]
We, we can be heroes
We, we can be heroes
We, we can be heroes
Just for one day (We)
We can be heroes
