It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You we're content to let me shine, that's your way

You always walked a step behind

See, I was the one with all the glory

While you we're the one with all the strength, yes, you were

Only a face without a name

I never once heard you complain, no

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything I would like to be

I could fly higher than an eagle, yeah, yeah

'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

But daddy, daddy, daddy, I've got it all

Right here in my heart, yes, I do say

And I want you to know, I know the truth

I know you know the truth about it

I would be nothing, nothing without you, you, you

Did you ever know, you're my hero? Yeah, yeah

You're everything I would like to be

I could fly higher than an eagle

'Cause you are the wind beneath the old man's wings

You are the wind beneath my wings, my wings

See, daddy I remember you we're

On the stage singing your song, singing your song, now

That's why I used to take you and your brothers on the road

I used to, I used to carry y'all along

But now I'm proud we can stand up here

And sing it together now, hey, yeah

It's so good to see your dreams come true

Right here and right now, right now

It might have appeared to go unnoticed, unnoticed

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

I want you to know that I know the truth, yes, I do, yes, I do

I would be nothing daddy, nothing, zero, zero without you, without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything I would like to be

I could fly higher than an eagle

'Cause you are the wind beneath your daddy's wings

You are the wind beneath your little son's wings, wings
