You're everything, everything I wish I could be
For you are the wind beneath my wings
So high I almost touch the sky
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
You always walked a step behind
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
For you are the wind beneath my wings
You're everything I wish I could be
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
I could fly higher than an eagle
So I was the one with all the glory
But I've got it all here in my heart
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
A beautiful face without a name for so long
To never have sunlight on your face
For you are the wind beneath my wings
I can fly higher than an eagle
Thank you, thank you
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
I would be nothing without you
Fly, fly, so high against the sky
While you were the one with all the strength
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
It must have been cold there in my shadow
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
