Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you, you will queen
Though nothing will drive them away, hey
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing could keep us together
Oh we could be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the walls (By the walls)
And the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be hereos (We can be heroes)
We can be heroes (We can be heroes)
We can be heroes (We can be heroes)
We can be heroes ( We can be heroes)
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
