THE WARRIOR IS A CHILD
Words and music by 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 armour
The warrior is 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
'Cause deep inside this armour
The warrior is a child
