It must've been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight on your face You were content to let me shine 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 A beautiful smile to hide the pain Chorus: 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 I would be nothing without you (Chorus) Did I ever tell you you're my hero You're everything I wish I could be I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings You are the wind beneath my wings
