Lyrics
Find another songWhen you are old enough
To read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met
My only son
I hope you know
That I would have been there
To watch you grow
But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission
Lies ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones
Who all look up to you
And to defend them
To the end
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Father, father
Father I look up to you
And heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream
Now passed on to me
And I now wait
To shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it is written, it shall be, yeah
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
