The Warrior is a Child

I think It was during my college days in the 80's that I first heard of this song from Twila Paris.I love the melody.During great successes and at times the darkest moments of my life..the line in the song comes to mind.."they don't know that I go running home when I fall down..they don't know who fix 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".I really thank Jesus that each time I fall He's there to mend me and carry me home safely.

I can see myself in my son Jeremy..inspite of the toughness..the victories and fame..at the end of each day I drop my sword and cry for just a while...

The Warrior is a Child

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 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 and cry for just a while
'Cause deep inside this armor
the warrior is a child
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 armor
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The Warrior is a Child
