Heroes lyrics

I, I wish I could a swim
Like dolphins, Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day

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

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