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 (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

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
There is no judge
I am the jury and the defendant
The gavel has no hand
Who will deliver the sentence?

A friend defends the one he loves
In all things love, love transcends

I need a defender
Who bends and breaks in my place
