It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You were content to let me shine

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

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

'Cause 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

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

'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Oh for you on the wind beneath my wings the baby
