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
I was the one with all the glory You were the one with all the strain A beautiful face without a name A beautiful smile to ease my pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero And everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings You are the wind beneath my wings

Mau popo au ua i ke ho'i Ka home iloko ku'u pu'u wai U'a ho'i mai i'au ke i ke nei au Ma oli au au ana hou Ke mau popo He Hawai'i au Ke mau popo He Hawai'i au You are the wind beneath my wings Ooo ooo oo oo oo You are the wind beneath my wings Ke mau popo He Hawai'i au
