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 strain
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
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
for you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
for you are the wind beneath my wings
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
