Oh, oh, oh, oh 
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? 
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, so high against the sky 
So high I almost touch the sky 
Thank you, thank you 
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
