One Tin Soilder

One tin soldier



Listen children to a story was written long ago,

‘Bout a kingdom on a mountain and a village far below,

On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone,

And the valley people swore they’d have it for their very own.


Chorus:


So go ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend,

If you do it in the name of heaven,

You can justify it in the end,

There won’t be any trumpets blowing,

Come the judgment day,

But on the bloody morning after,

One tin soldier rides away.



So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill,

Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they’d kill,

Came an answer from the mountain with our brothers we will share,

All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.




Chorus



So the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your swords,

And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward,

Now stand beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red,

Turned the stone and looked beneath it, Peace on Earth was all it said.



Chorus
