Wind Beneath My Wings/He Hawai‘i Au
Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole
(IZ)
------------
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

I ke i'a po ke i'a au me o'e
Ke i'a po ua ho'i ma i au
He loa ka helena ma ke a la hele
E huli wahi ma ke i'a au
Mau popo au ua i ke ho'i
Ka home iloko ku'u pu'u way
U'a ho'i mai i'au ke i ke nei au
