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 bitternessA rock and a hard place sounds easy compared to thisRighteous wrath
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane
Passing over a calming seaRighteous 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
But it takes youRighteous wrath
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane
Passing over a calming seaRighteous wrath
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a forest fire
Spreading through the pouring rainThe 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 endI would do anything to make it through
But it takes two
One is me, the other is you
I would do anything to make it through
But it takes youA friend defends the one he loves
In all things love transcendsI need a defender
A voice that shakes to calm the quake
I need a defender
Who bends and breaks in my place
