PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

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



Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I would like to be

I can fly higher than an eagle

For 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 without you



Did you ever know that you're my hero

You're everything I wish I could be

I could fly higher than an eagle

For you are the wind beneath my wings

  

Fly, fly, fly away

You let me fly so high

...... fly, so high it hits the skies

So high I almost touched the sky

Thank you, thank you, thank God for you

The wind beneath my wings
