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 strain.
A beautiful face without a name,
I never once heard you complain .
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And ev'rything 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.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And ev'rything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings,
You are the wind beneath my wings.
