Defender

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] (I would do anything) I would do anything to make it through (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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] 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, that shakes as he calms the quake We need a defender who bends so we don't break [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I would do anything to make it through (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 [Post-Chorus] A friend defends the one he loves In all things love, love transcends [Outro] I need a defender A voice that shakes to calm the quake I need a defender who bends and breaks in my place
