Wind Beneath My Wings
Unsung Heroes: A Tribute to Selfless Support
Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Expression of emotion or emphasis, setting the tone.
It must have been cold there in my shadow
Implies a period of difficulty or darkness for the speaker.
To never have sunlight on your face
Highlighting a lack of positive experiences for the person in the shadow.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
Acknowledging the selfless nature of the person in the shadow, allowing the speaker to shine.
You always walked a step behind
Describing the person's tendency to stay in the background, not seeking the spotlight.
So I was the one with all the glory
Describing the speaker's achievements and recognition.
While you were the one with all the strength
Contrasting the speaker's glory with the strength and support of the person in the shadow.
A beautiful face without a name for so long
Highlighting the anonymity of the supportive person despite their beauty.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Describing the mask of a beautiful smile concealing inner pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero
Expressing admiration and gratitude towards the person in the shadow.
And everything I would like to be?
Acknowledging the inspirational qualities of the supportive person.
I can fly higher than an eagle
Metaphorical expression of achieving great heights with the support of the person in the shadow.
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Directly attributing the speaker's success to the support received.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
Addressing the potential oversight or underestimation of the person in the shadow.
But I've got it all here in my heart
Affirming the speaker's internal recognition of the importance of the supportive person.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
Asserting the speaker's awareness of the truth and dependence on the supportive person.
I would be nothing without you
Expressing the speaker's insignificance without the person in the shadow.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
Reiteration of the hero status of the person in the shadow.
You're everything I wish I could be
Affirmation of the person in the shadow as a source of inspiration.
I could fly higher than an eagle
Repeating the metaphor of flying higher with the support received.
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Reaffirming the supportive role as the wind beneath the speaker's wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
Reiterating the hero status and expressing gratitude.
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Emphasizing the desire to embody the qualities of the person in the shadow.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
Repeating the metaphor of flying higher with the support received.
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Reaffirming the supportive role as the wind beneath the speaker's wings.
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Reiteration of the importance of the person as the wind beneath the speaker's wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
Direct reference to the person as the wind beneath the speaker's wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Repetition emphasizing the integral role of the person in the speaker's success.
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Encouragement for the person to fly away, acknowledging their role in the speaker's ascent.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky

So high I almost touch the sky

Thank you, thank you
