Oh, oh, oh, oh

 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 strength
 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?
 You're everything I wish I could be
 I could fly higher than an eagle
 For you are the wind beneath my wings

 Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
 You're everything, everything I wish I could be
 Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
 For you are the wind beneath my wings
 'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

 Oh, the wind beneath my wings
 You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
 Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
 Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
 Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

 Fly, fly, so high against the sky
 So high I almost touch the sky
 Thank you, thank you
 Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
