The Warrior Is A Child Lyrics - 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 cry for just a while 

'Cause deep inside this armor 

The warrior is a child
