Heroes Lyrics
[SAM]
I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
[BLAINE]
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
[BLAINE & SAM]
We can be us, just for one day
[SAM & (BLAINE)]
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (By the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)
[BLAINE & SAM]
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
[BLAINE]
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
[BLAINE & SAM]
We can be us, just for one day
[SAM & (BLAINE)]
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (By the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)
[BLAINE & SAM]
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
