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

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for 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, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle,
you are the wind beneath my wings

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle,
you are the wind beneath my wings,
you are the wind beneath my wings
