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.

Did you ever know that 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 high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings. (x2)

His mind is worn and so tortured
Suffering was part of the plan
Blades flying swift, with Justice
Remember the idea not the man

Rising up from the fire
Unified to be free
Stoking our fears with their lies
You are the key

Sedated they kept us all dormant
Unknowing, our lives lives in vain
Like mindless drones we're devoted
We've welcomed our fate as their slaves

Prepare for victory
Our minds have been awakened
Rid your life of tyranny
We are the resistance

(No fear), Stand tall
(Resist), Tyranny falls
(No lies), No war
(Resist), Victory calls

Rising up from the fire
Unified to be free
Stoking our fears with their lies
You are the key

In the end we were coiled with the serpent
It took all we had to break free
Our victory, it came without violence
We vanquished, they fell to their knees

Prepare for victory
Our minds have been awakened
Rid your life of tyranny
We are the resistance

Prepare for victory
Our minds have been awakened
Rid your life of tyranny
We are the resistance

(No fear), Stand tall
(Resist), Tyranny falls
(No lies), No war
(Resist), Victory calls

[woman:] darling dear what have you done?
your clothes are town, your make-up runs.

[daughter:] i ran through brambles, blooming thistle
i washed my face in the river when you whistled me on.

[woman:] darling dear, what hav eyou done?
your hands and face are smeared with blood.

[daughter:] the chaplain came and called me out
to beat and to butcher his mother's sow

[woman:] but darling dear, they found him dead
this morning on the riverbed.

but hush now darling, don't you cry.
your reward's in the sweet by-and -by.
hush now baby, don't you cry.
your reward's in the sweet by-and-by.

[crone:] and now we've seen your powers
softly stretch the hours
you're a fickle little twister
are you sweet on your sister?
as now you go wandering home.

(Louris, Johnson)

When I was down she was full of advice
'Cause she'd been there once or twice
With a ring on the side of her nose
Wearing other people's clothes
She had her highs and she had her lows
In between she'd show
When she smiled everything else died
V let off a good vibe

Chorus:
As if in a dream
The one and only V
As if in a dream
The one and only V

Buying shots and breaking hearts
She used to wait on us down at the bar
Never took as much as she gave
She's still giving to this day
Staying up half the night
Mood swing yet we cried
On a cold December day
V up and went away

Chorus:
As if in a dream
The one and only V
As if in a dream
The one and only V

Staying up half the night
Mood swing yet we cried
On a cold December day
V up and went away

Chorus:
As if in a dream
The one and only V
As if in a dream
The one and only V
