  • 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 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

  • Chris Banez Forrester from Manila PhilippinesFrom the early years retrospective she comments shy of just saying being annoyed of those who sing the song without knowing its deeper personal implication. I could relate to what she meant as it's been popularized now in the secular market.
  • Philip from Solomon IslandsVery real the message of the song..thankyou God bless twila Paris..
  • Elizabeth from WashingtonA great and touching song which sounds real to me
