Take me to the roads where I used to drive 
Away from small town schemes 
Cobblestones on bumpy roads 
To the life on silver screens 
Memories from a life escaping 
When the dark is closing in 
After storms have passed I see at last 
The magic can begin 

There I see the guiding light 
The star you're born to be 
I realise your love has set me free 

We could be heroes 
We could be angels in the sky 
From the rainbow's end to heavensent 
We spread our wings and fly 
We could be heroes 
We could be lovers you and I 
And when angels fall and curtains call 
We climb the mountains high 
We could be heroes 

Take me to the streets where I used to walk 
The dreams I sacrificed 
Sticks and stones when angels talked 
Whispering sweet advice 
Every night I sleep without you 
Every breath you take away 
Becomes a foolish game a crying shame 
Leading me astray 

Then I see the guiding light 
The star you're born to be 
I realise your love has set me free 

We could be heroes 
We could be angels in the sky 
From the rainbow's end to heavensent 
We spread our wings and fly 
We could be heroes 
We could be lovers you and I 
And when angels fall and curtains call 
We climb the mountains high 
We could be heroes 

Na na na we could be heroes 
Na na na we could be heroes 
Na na na we could be heroes 
Na na na na na na 
We could be heroes
