Letra de
Heroes

Heroes é uma música de David Bowie, escrita em colaboração com Brian Eno. Foi inspirada por uma cena que Bowie testemunhou entre dois amantes junto ao Muro de Berlim, projetando-se contra as pressões políticas e sociais da época. A música reflete o desejo de superação e de ser heróis, mesmo que por apenas um dia, ante a opressão e divisão representada pelo Muro.

I - I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins - like dolphins can swim
Though nothing - nothing will keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes just for one day

I - I will be King
And you - you will be Queen
For nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes - just for one day
We can be us - just for one day

I - I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (By the wall)
And the guards shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing would fall (Nothing could fall)

And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them forever and ever
Then we can be Heroes just for one day


We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes just for one day
We can be Heroes
