It must have been cold in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
you were 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 strain
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
But you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I have 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 can fly higher than an eagle
But you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
To never have sunlight on your face
you were 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 strain
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
But you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I have 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 can fly higher than an eagle
But you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
