Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold in the deep waters
Never having the sunshine on your fins
You were content to let me swim on top
You always swam in my shadow
Yes, I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one swimming so strong
A streamlined body without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide your pain
Did you never know you were my hero
And were all I ever wanted to be
I can swim on the ocean surface
‘cause you are the wave beneath my fins
It might have seemed you were unnoticed
But it is all written down in my heart
I will tell you the truth, because I know it
I would just be a fish if it weren’t for you
Did you never know that you’re my hero
You’re the fish I always wanted to be
I could swim across every ocean
‘cause you are the wave beneath my fins
Did I never tell you you’re my hero
You’re everything, everything I wished to be
Oh, yes, I could fly through the stormy seas
‘cause you are the wave beneath my fins
‘cause you are the wave beneath my fins
