  • 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, 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, but it takes two
    One is me, the other is you
    I would do anything 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 Writer/s: JB Brubaker, Matthew Greiner
