Defender

Tonight I saw a father's love in waves start to rise

I will not stand by and watch what I made be demonized

He insists you dug a hole a hole of bitterness

A rock and a hard place sounds easy compared to this

Righteous wrath righteous wrath wrapped in empathy

Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea

Righteous wrath righteous wrath wrapped in empathy

Like a forest fire spreading through the pouring rain

I would do anything

I would do anything to make it through

But it takes two one is me the other's you

I would do anything to make it through

To make it through

But it takes you

Righteous wrath righteous wrath wrapped in empathy

Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea

Righteous wrath righteous wrath wrapped in empathy

Like a forest fire spreading through the pouring rain

The ones who know what's best are the best to have around

An understanding man doing the best he can to comprehend

A voice that shakes as he calms the quake

We need a defender who bends so we don't break

There is no judge

I am the jury and the defendant

The gavel has no hand

Who will deliver the sentence

Bitterness has no end

I would do anything to make it through

To make it through

But it takes two one is me the other is you

I would do anything to make it through

To make it through

But it takes you

A friend defends the one he loves

In all things love love transcends

I need a defender

A voice that shakes to calm the quake

I need a defender who bends and breaks in my place
