It must've been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strain
A beautiful face without a name
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Chorus:
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For 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

Chorus:
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you?re my hero
You?re everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings.

You are the wind beneath my wings
