Lyrics for “Heroes”
Song writers: Linnea Deb, Joy Deb, Anton Hård af Segerstad
Song composers: Linnea Deb, Joy Deb, Anton Hård af Segerstad
Don’t tell the gods I left a mess
I can’t undo what has been done
Let’s run for cover
What if I’m the only hero left
You better fire off your gun
Once and forever
He said go dry your eyes
And live your life like there is no tomorrow, son
And tell the others
To go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard:
We are the heroes of our time
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds…
We are the heroes of our time
Hero-uh-o-o-oes
O-uh-o-o-oh
We’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Hero-uh-o-o-oes O-uh-o-o-oh
The crickets sing a song for you
Don’t say a word, don’t make a sound
It’s life’s creation
I make worms turn into butterflies
Wake up and turn this world around
In appreciation
He said I never left your side
When you were lost I followed right behind
Was your foundation
Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard:
We are the heroes of our time
Hero-uh-o-o-oes
O-uh-o-o-oh
We’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Hero-uh-o-o-oes O-uh-o-o-oh
(We keep dancing with the demons
You could be a hero)
Go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together….
We are the heroes of our time
Hero-uh-o-o-oes
O-uh-o-o-oh
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Hero-uh-o-o-oes O-uh-o-o-oh
We are the heroes of our time
Hero-uh-o-o-oes
O-uh-o-o-oh
But we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
Hero-uh-o-o-oes O-uh-o-o-oh
We are the heroes

Song composers: Gabriel Alares, Joakim Björnberg, Katrina Noorbergen, Leonid Gutkin, Vladimir Matetsky
We are the worlds people
Different yet we’re the same
We believe
We believe in a dream
Praying for peace and healing
I hope we can start again
We believe
We believe in a dream
So if you ever feel love is fading
Together like the stars in the sky
We can sing
We can shine
Chorus:
When you hear our voices call
You won’t be lonely anymore
A million voices
Your heart is like a beating drum
Burning brighter than the sun
A million voices
Now as the world is listening
From cities and satellites
We believe
We believe
In a dream
If you ever feel love is fading
Together like the stars in the sky
We can sing
We can shine
Chorus:
When you hear our voices call
You won’t be lonely anymore
A million voices
Your heart is like a beating drum
Burning brighter than the sun
Bridge:
When I look around at these faces
I can see the stars in the sky
We will sing
We will shine
Singing out
Singing out
ooh
Singing out
Singing out
ooh
Singing out
A million voices

Lyrics for “Grande Amore”
Song writer(s): Ciro Esposito / Francesco Boccia
Song composer(s): Ciro Esposito / Francesco Boccia
Chiudo gli occhi e penso a lei
Il profumo dolce della pelle sua
E’ una voce dentro che mi sta portando dove nasce il sole
Sole sono le parole
Ma se vanno scritte tutto può cambiare
Senza più timore te lo voglio urlare questo grande amore
Amore, solo amore è quello che sento
Dimmi perché quando penso, penso solo a te
Dimmi perché quando vedo, vedo solo te
Dimmi perché quando credo, credo solo in te grande amore
Dimmi che mai
Che non mi lascerai mai
Dimmi chi sei
Respiro dei giorni miei d’amore
Dimmi che sai
Che solo me sceglierai Ora lo sai
Tu sei il mio unico grande amore
Dimmi perché quando penso, penso solo a te
Dimmi perché quando amo, amo solo te
Dimmi perché quando vivo, vivo solo in te grande amore
Dimmi che mai
Che non mi lascerai mai.
Dimmi chi sei
Respiro dei giorni miei d’amore Dimmi che sai
Che non mi sbaglierei mai Dimmi che sei
Che sei il mio unico grande amore
