Heroes Lyrics

[Chorus]
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing could take us apart
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

[Verse 1]
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll dream all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

[Refrain]
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We could be heroes, forevеr and ever
What d'you say?

[Chorus]
I, I will be king
And you, you will bе queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
[Verse 2]
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall

[Refrain]
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
