It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face?

You've 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



Did you ever know that you're my hero?

And everything I'd 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 nothin' without you



Did you ever know that you're my hero?

And everything I'd like to be?

I can fly higher than an eagle

'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings



You are the wind beneath my wings
