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!
