It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behindI was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complainDid you ever know that you're my hero
And everything Id like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
With you as the wind beneath my wingsIt might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all right here, right here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, oh baby
Oh, when I would be nothing without youDid you ever know that you're my hero
And everything Id like to be
I can fly higher, higher than an eagle
With you as the wind beneath my wingsFor you are the wind beneath my wings, oh baby
