INNERWISH’s ‘Defend Our Children’s Hope’ is a powerful tribute to the next generation, urging us all to take responsibility for their future and defend their right to hope and opportunity.
With their signature blend of driving riffs, soaring melodies, and anthemic choruses, INNERWISH deliver both a poignant message and a timeless heavy metal hymn.
The single is accompanied by a stirring lyric video that underscores its urgency. With lines like “We fall and then we rise / It’s the battle for a new dawn / We conquer not divide / Protect, defend our children’s hope,” the song speaks directly to today’s world of division and uncertainty.
At its core, it’s a call for unity, resilience, and compassion, a reminder that safeguarding a better future is a responsibility we all share.
Reflecting on the song’s origins, INNERWISH share:
“To be or not to be in the album? That is the question! For sure a question we asked ourselves a lot because having 15 songs makes you keep some of them out of the album.
And it’s not a matter of being a lesser song, especially in this case, but it’s just the way it is sometimes. No matter what, this song has all the classical INNERWISH elements, the ones that lasted all these years. Groove, melodies and hook-y chorus.
We talked about children on “Sea of lies” and we do it here as well. Different writer, different perspective and impression. Again, for the children. They are the hope of mankind, they are our hope, they deserve way more. After all, this world isn’t their fault but ours.”
In times where global crises weigh heavily on young generations, ‘Defend Our Children’s Hope’ stands as both a warning and a rallying cry: we must not allow today’s failures to become tomorrow’s inheritance.
