[Verse 1]
It must have 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 strength
A beautiful face to hide the pain
I never once heard you complain

[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

[Verse 2]
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 you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I
I can fly higher than an eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
[Outro]
Fly, fly, fly away
You let me fly so high
Oh 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
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you
