When you are old enough to read this words   Their meaning will unfold   These words are all that's left   And though we've never meet, 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
