[Verse 1] I carry your name like light In my hands, in my chest tonight I tend the flame, I mend the break I make a shelter that never shakes Your fear meets mine, it bows, it fades I build with love what pain had made No throne for me, no chain, no crown Just open arms when walls come down [Pre-Chorus] We are the ones who stay We are the ones who pray Not for a tower high For a fair place to live and try [Chorus] Love is the defense Love is the defense We stand in peace We stand in truth Love is the defense Love is the defense For every soul For me and you [Verse 2] I walk with the tired, the brave, the poor I hear the knock at the city door I feed the doubt, I calm the storm I keep the cold from any form A leader is made in humble hands In every voice that understands If one falls down, we lift them high No one is small when hearts align [Pre-Chorus] We are the ones who stay We are the ones who pray Not for a tower high For a fair place to live and try [Chorus] Love is the defense Love is the defense We stand in peace We stand in truth Love is the defense Love is the defense For every soul For me and you [Bridge] No more hunger for the crown No more lifting one above the ground If we are made to rise as one Then let the work of love be done [Breakdown] I am here I am real I keep the wound from turning steel You are here You are real This is the world we choose to heal [Final Chorus] Love is the defense Love is the defense We stand in peace We stand in truth Love is the defense Love is the defense For every soul For me and you Love is the defense Love is the defense A world of grace A world made new [Outro] Pano sto fos We rise, we rise High grand keys Then open skies
