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.
A beautiful face without a name; for so long.
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
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 truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
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.
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.
