We could be heroes for today;
if only we tried.

We could be heroes today;
it wouldn't matter if we died.

The change in the world could be the people we want to be,
Why can't it be this way?

All these people playing all these parts
Everyone wanting to be the star-but never going too far;
we need a hero today.

We could be the change we want to see happen.

All these problems causing all this mess;
it's not wonder why I live in stress.
Everybody wanting something for nothing
So ready to take credit and pass blame
but we could be heroes- if just for today.
