It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, (that's your way).
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
beautiful face without a name for so long.
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,
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 [bad word] (yes, I do!).
I would be nothing without you.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero
And everything I wish I could be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
