The Wind beneath My Wings [Bette Middler cover]
Sonata Arctica
Orientation [EP] (2001)

Originally peformed by Bette Midler:

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.

Chorus:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And ev'rything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
cause 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 with out you.

(Chorus)

Fly, fly, fly away,
You let me fly so high.
Oh, fly, fly,
So high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank god for you,
The wind beneath my wings.

Note: The last verse, after the chorus, is not performed in the cover version.
