It must have been cold there in my shadow, To never have sunlight on your face? You've been content to let me shine, You always walked a step behind. I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength, Only a face without a name, I never once heard you complain. Did you ever know that you're my hero? And everything i'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle, 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 nothin' without you! Did you ever know that you're my hero? And everything i'd like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, You are the wind beneath my wings!
