It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You been content to let me shine

You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strength

Only a face without a name

I never once heard you complain, ooh

Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I'd like to be

I can fly higher than an eagle

With you as the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

But I've got it all right here, right here in my heart

I want you to know I know the truth, oh baby

Oh, when I would be nothing without you, oh

Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I'd like to be

I can fly higher, higher than an eagle

With you as the wind beneath my wings, oh

For you are the wind beneath my wings, oh baby
