"Heroes"

[Stand and Fight]

Here a song that comes to my mind about tomorrow. It's very inspirational, and I feel that parts of it are akin to our current struggle. The perceptive should be able to pick out the lyrics to which I am referring. I'm hoping our representatives in Congress as so inspired to fight against the odds and take a stand. It's somewhat of a love ballad, but it does have parts that tie in to our struggle for democracy. I just wanted to share it with my fellow DUers, here goes:

"Heroes"

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, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

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

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though 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 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, for ever 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

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-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day

1. thanks... I love this song

and was in tears when Bowie performed this, solo with a little keyboard, at the Concert For New York.

[Stand and Fight]

2. I feel you.

I'm a big Bowie fan myself. Great music along with U2, Queen, etc... Speaking of Queen, "Under Pressure" comes to mind along with "Hammer to Fall" in regards to our waiting for tomorrow.

...Hopefully, our Senators choose to be heroes and stand against the villains.

5. I couldn't agree with you more, Stand & Fight ...

I just hope I'm not left on Jan 7th singing The Stranglers' song "No More Heroes." :-(

6. I'm with you there.

I've already made arrangements to be at home to monitor all of this tomorrow afternoon.
