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.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would 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.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
if you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're my everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
with you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, beneath my wings.

Fly, fly.
You're my hero.
