"Wind Beneath My Wings" dikarang oleh Jeff Silbar dan Larry Henley pada tahun 1982. Banyak penyanyi yang menyanyikan lagu ini, namun versi yang paling terkenal yang dibawakan oleh Bette Midler, yang memenangkan Grammy Award di tahun 1990 (Wikipedia).
Lagu ini cocok dipersembahkan untuk orang-orang yang men’support’ orang yang dikasihinya untuk bisa terbang tinggi menemukan jati dirinya. Orang-orang itu bisa orangtua, kakek/nenek, suami/istri/kekasih, guru, atau sahabat.
Di jaman dimana orang-orang cenderung selfish, sibuk dengan urusan dan kepentingannya sendiri, rasanya suatu anugerah luar biasa apabila bisa menemukan seseorang yang bisa menjadi belahan jiwa atau pasangan jiwa (soulmate). Seseorang yang tahu benar siapa diri kita dan mau menerima kita apa adanya. Soulmate biasanya mempunyai prinsip, karakter, dan ide yang sejiwa sehingga selalu nyambung atau ada ‘chemistry’. Soulmate yang benar-benar mencintai kita akan bertindak seperti lirik dalam lagu “Wind Beneath My Wings”. Dia bagaikan angin yang menerbangkan sayapku untuk bisa terbang tinggi. Dia rela tinggal dalam bayangan demi memberiku cahaya agar aku bersinar. Rela selalu berjalan di belakang mendampingi agar aku selalu di depan. Wow.
Berbahagialah bila kita menemukan soulmate itu.
Belahan jiwa tidak harus kekasih. Bisa itu ditemukan dalam persahabatan yang tulus.
Oh, oh, oh, oh -
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 strain.
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.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,

A beautiful face without a name for so long.

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.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
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,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
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,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
