One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story that was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath the stone
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat a friend.
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
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 riches of our mountain, all the treasure 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 rewards
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it: Peace on Earth was all it said.
