It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You we're content to let me shine
That's your way
You always walked a step behind
See, I was the one with all the glory
While you we're the one with all the strength (Yes you were)
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain, no
Did you ever know that you're my hero
You're everything I would like to be
I could fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings (You are the wind beneath my wings)
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But daddy, daddy, daddy I've got it all
Right here in my heart (In my heart) yes I do say
And I want you to know, I know the truth
I know you know the truth about it (I know you know the truth about it)
I would be nothing (Nothing), nothing without you, you (Nothing without you)
Did you ever know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
You're everything I would like to be
You're a part of me, you're a part of me
I could fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath the old man's wings (You are the wind beneath)
One more time, one more time
You are the wind beneath my wings, my wings
Ah, see daddy I remember you we're on the stage,
Singing your song, singing your song, now
That's why I used to take you and your brothers on the road
I used to, I used to carry, I used to carry y'all along
But now I'm proud we can stand up here and sing it together now, hey yeah
It's so good to see your dreams come true
Right here and right now, right now
It might have appeared to go unnoticed, unnoticed (No, it didn't daddy)
But, son I've got it all right here,
In my arms, in my arms, (In my heart) in my heart
I want you to know that I know the truth
Yes, I do, yes I do
I would be nothing daddy
Nothing, zero, zero without you, without you, yeah yeah yeah
Did you ever know that you're my hero
If you didn't, I'm telling you now daddy, daddy
You're everything I would like to be
My son, my son, you're a part of me
I could fly higher than an eagle, yeah yeah yeah
'Cause you are the wind beneath your daddy's wings (You are the wind beneath the wings)
You are the wind beneath your little son's wings, wings
