The Warrior Is a Child
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
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 I look up for a smile, one smile
'Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
The warrior is a child
Deep inside this armor
The warrior's 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 I cry for just a while
'Cause deep inside this armor
Oh, deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
The warrior is a child
The warrior is a child
The warrior is a child
