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
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 look up for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armor...
Deep inside this armor...
Deep inside this armor...
The warrior is a child.
And i am feeling very childlike, but i'm also leaning on some amazing strength, this week is goign to kick my butt, but for it to totally beat me down, i know it would have to be bigger than God and He's the one i'm leaning on...
PeeweeAlleg05: that is a powerful song but it also implies strength in the weakness itself which it describes. Those that pick you up when you fall down, that is your family, your friends, me, God. And you have that-- that makes you very strong. “But they don’t see the enemies that lay me at His feet” and you know what that’s true, very true. Others cant know all your enemies. Even those who know someone best like your family or close friends or me cant know what its like or how it feels but... you can always go to Him and He will be there when you need to lay at His feet.
