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 * This version
