I, I will be king
And you, wewe will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes

I, I wish wewe could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
Nothing could keep us together
Oh we can be Heroes,
Just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, kwa the ukuta (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
We could be Heroes,
Just for one day

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
We can be Heroes

Just for one day
We could be Heroes
We could be Heroes
Just for one day
