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
