Heroes - The David Bowie song

Heroes 

CHORUS:
 I, I will be king
And you, you 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.

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be heroes, forever and ever

What'd you say?

I, I wish I could swin

Like 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

[Chorus]






I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame , was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could 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

[Break]


We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day.

What makes this song that special to deserve a post in my blog?

 It is a story about two lovers who weren't meant for each other. Yet despite the odds, they managed to see each other ("standing by the wall").

David Bowie wrote this song about two lovers separated by the Berlin Wall.

Sounds so familiar, although for us, the Berlin Wall is purely figurative.
