It must have been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight in 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 stress Only a 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 See I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go un-noticed 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 See I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings You are the wind beneath my wings
