Warrior Is A Child

I was feeling depressed the other day. You know how I always tell you no one really knew how depressed I am. I am always perceived as funny, wacky, easy going, , strong, brave, smart (whatever, I try...), ...overall a party animal. But honestly, I get attacked by depressing and lonely thoughts all the time. I am just very good at hiding it. I had the Filipino artists Gary Valenciano's CD entitled "Revival." I enjoyed couple of songs from it but there was one song in his album that pertained to my loneliness right now. It completely described what I am feeling and what I am going through. So here, I am posting it in. Read on.

Warrior is a Child
by Gary Valenciano

Lately 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
CHORUS:
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
(Look up for His smile)
'Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aah)

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, oh no
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet

Repeat chorus twice
