Lyrics
TV version lyrics
On a road, far from home,
you don't have to feel alone.
Brave and strong, together we will be.
It's our destiny!
We will be heroes,
We can change the world if we try!
I go where you go,
Forever friends, you and I!
We will be heroes!

Movie version lyrics
Pokémon!
Another day, another fight
Another chance to make things right (Pokémon!)
We will be strong, the way it should be
Ready for the challenge, you and me!
We will be heroes (Pokémon!)
We can change the world if we try (Darkrai!)
I go where you go (Pokémon!)
Forever friends, you and I (Darkrai!)
We will be heroes
Pokémon!
The moment's right, the time has come
For us to stand, together as one
So take my hand and follow me
To give it all's our destiny!
We will be heroes (Pokémon!)
We can change the world if we try (Darkrai!)
I go where you go (Pokémon!)
Forever friends, you and I (Darkrai!)
We will be heroes

Trivia
- The English, French, Danish, and German TV version is the first dub title song that is sung by a solo female.
- The Latin American Spanish, Polish, Dutch and Brazilian TV version of this song is sung by a male, not respecting the original English version.
- It is also the first time that credits appear during a TV opening.
- It is the first anime opening that was used in the movie corresponding to the season before its release.
- Normally the dub openings would follow in the same pattern as the Japanese openings. However, at the time the Japanese Diamond & Pearl series had yet to make a second opening. Therefore, scenes that were not used in the first dubbed opening, Diamond and Pearl, were added in.
- It can be considered ironic that the only scene Team Rocket appears in (smiling at the viewer) occurs while the line "Forever friends, you and I." is sung.
- The end credit variant of We Will Be Heroes is used for the Latin American Spanish intro and the Brazilian Portuguese intro.
- The French version of the opening is the only version so far to translate the opening credits into that countries respective language.
- Whilst all versions use the English logo, the French, Danish, Dutch, and German versions of the song use the words Battle Dimension in English.
