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
Chorus:
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 nothing without you
(Chorus)
You are the wind beneath my wings
