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, and I never once heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I'd like to be
I could 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, and everything I'd like to be
I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
