you know it must have been cold standing there in my shadow
you never had the sunlight on your face
to know you were content to let me shine
why you walked a few steps behind
and i was the one with all the glory
while you were the one behind me with all that strength
just a face without a name
i never heard you once complain
did you ever know that you are 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 right here in my heart
i want you to know that i know the truth
i would be nothing without you
did you ever know that you are my hero
you’re everything that i would like to be
i could fly higher higher than an eagle
i said you are the wind beneath my wings
did you ever know that you are my hero
you’re everything that i would like to be
i tell ya i could fly higher higher than an eagle
i said you are the wind beneath my wings
my wings
