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
