one tin soldier

listen children to a story

that was written long ago

bout a kingdom on a mountain

and the valley folk 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

so 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

but on the bloody morning after

one tin soldier rides away

so the people from 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 kingdom

with our brothers we will share
