|
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. |
|
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 nothin' 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, |
|
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings, |
|
You are the wind beneath my wings! |
