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.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I wish I could be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
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, I could fly higher than an eagle,
you are the wind beneath my wings.
