Warrior is a ChildGary ValencianoLately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
I'm strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears
They don't know that I come 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
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
Unafraid because His arrow is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
I never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
They don't know that I come 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 His smile
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life."
Psalm 119:50 (NIV)
