to defend

there is one thing that has to change,

there is one thing that cannot stay.

if i aim to build a better world

it cannot be this way.

 

i have the urge to protect,

it's a need i found deep inside me.

in defense of the defenseless,

i'll create freedom and equality.

 

To defend the child in the shadow

And wipe away her tears.

To give her hope of new life

And stem the tide of fears.
