The Warrior Is A Child - Twila Paris

Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right

But even winners can get wounded in the fight

People say that I’m amazing

Strong beyond my years

But they don’t see inside of me

I’m hiding all the tears

They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down

They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around

I drop my sword and cry for just a while

'Cause deep inside this armor

The warrior is a child

Unafraid because His armor is the best

But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest

People say that I’m amazing

Never face retreat

But they don’t see the enemies

That lay me at His feet

They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down

They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around

I drop my sword and look up for a smile

Because deep inside this armor

Deep inside this armor

Deep inside this armor

The Warrior is a Child
