Rico Yan ( The Warrior is a Child)

THE WARRIOR IS A CHILD
A Song 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
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
'Cause deep inside this armour
The Warrior is a Child
Unafraid because his armour 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
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
'Cause deep inside this armour
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 for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armour
Deep inside this armour
Deep inside this armour
The Warrior is a Child

Today a sudden interest in finding out more about a tagalog drama show (Mula Sa Puso) that i was interested in, i stumped upon a piece of aricle about one of the actor, Rico Yan (Ricardo Carlos Castro Yan) ( http://www.geocities.com/MIGHTORS4/Ricky/Ry-boy.html ) He was a talented actor, a gifted businessman and a wonderful person who has been called upon to be with the Lord at a young age of 27. He has used his life of 27 years to shine light into those who needed it.. he touched lifes in many way that most people wouldn't even imagine. I would really love to meet someone like Rico Yan. The above song was said to be his favourite and it was sang by the orginal singer at his funeral. The words has a simple yet meaningful messange behind it... something all of us can relate to... Let's continue Rico Yan's legacy to touch life, not only in philiphines but also the world around us.... May His soul find peace with the Lord.
