I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing will keep us together
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, nothing will drive us away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

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)

And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
Watcha say?
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
