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
you are the wind beneath my wings
I 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, ‘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
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 I, I could fly higher than an eagle
you are the wind beneath my wings
oh, wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
so high I almost touch the star
Thank you, thank you
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
