Warrior is a Child, by Twila Paris

Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can be wounded in the fight.
People say 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 how 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
Cuz deep inside this armour
The warrior is just a child

Unafraid because His armour 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
Cuz deep inside this armour
Deep inside this armour
The warrior is a child.
