It must have been cold there, in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've been content to let me shine,
You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name,
And I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I'd like to be
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth,
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I'd like to be
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings
