INTRO
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 awhile
'Cause deep inside this armor, the warrior is a child
INTERLUDE
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
Unafraid because his armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing; I never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies that lay me at his feet
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 awhile (I cried for just awhile)
'Cause deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor), the warrior is a child
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 look up for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armor (deep inside)
Deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor, deep inside)
Deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor)
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; 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 awhile
'Cause deep inside this armor, the warrior is a child
INTERLUDE
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
Unafraid because his armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing; I never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies that lay me at his feet
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 awhile (I cried for just awhile)
'Cause deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor), the warrior is a child
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 look up for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armor (deep inside)
Deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor, deep inside)
Deep inside this armor (deep inside this armor)
The warrior is a child
