It must have 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 I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength Beautiful face without a name Beautiful smile to hide the pain Did I ever tell you that you're my hero And everything I wish I could be I can fly higher than an eagle 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 would like to be I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings
