Heroes
Chord Overstreet/Darren Criss Lyrics

I, I wish I could swim
I yearn for the freedom and grace of dolphins in the water.

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
I want to experience the fluidity and agility of these creatures in my movement.

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
Despite the challenges and obstacles we face, we won't let anything come between us.

We can beat them, for ever and ever
Together, we can overcome any adversity and remain victorious indefinitely.

Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
We have the potential to be celebrated as heroes, even if our impact is fleeting.

I, I will be king
I have aspirations to wield power and authority over others.

And you, you will be queen
You have the potential to be just as influential and respected as I am in this hypothetical scenario.

Though nothing will drive them away
Our opponents will remain relentless in their efforts to defeat us and dominate us.

We can be heroes, just for one day
Even in the midst of unrelenting adversity, we can have a brief moment of triumph and greatness.

We can be us, just for one day
We can embrace and express our true identities and desires for a single day, ignoring societal norms and expectations.

I, I can remember (I remember)
I recall a distinct memory from my past.

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
I vividly recall being in a particular physical location, near a wall.

And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
Weaponry was being fired in close proximity to us, creating a dangerous and tumultuous environment.

And we kissed
Despite the violence and chaos around us, we took a moment to express our love for each other.

As though, 'nothing could fall (nothing could fall)'
In that moment, we were so caught up in our feelings for each other that nothing else seemed to matter.

And the shame was on the other side
We felt no guilt or shame in expressing our love, perhaps because the violence and conflict were caused by others.

Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Through our love and unity, we can emerge victorious over those who seek to harm us.

Then we could be heroes
If we can triumph over our opponents, we too could be celebrated as heroes.

Just for one day
Even if our moment of glory is fleeting, it is still worth striving for.

We can be Heroes
We have the potential for greatness and glory.

We can be Heroes
We can overcome adversity and become celebrated for our achievements.

We can be Heroes
Our potential for greatness is limitless.

Just for one day
Even if our moment of greatness is brief, it is still worth striving for and celebrating.
