It must've 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 of the glory
While you were the one with all of 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
I would be nothing without you
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
Did I ever tell you you're my hero
You're everything, everything I wish
I could be
I can fly higher than a eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, wind beneath my wings
You, you
You're the wind beneath my wings
Fly...fly...fly away
You let me fly so high
Oh, you, you
You are the wing beneath my wings
Oh, you, you
You are the wing beneath my wings
Fly...fly...
So high against the sky
So high against the sky
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
