"Defender" lyrics

When 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
God has sent
