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

CHORUS:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and ev'rything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause 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 with out you

(CHORUS)

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
