Little Tin Soldier

Little tin soldier they gave you an innocent gun

And then they welded your hand in place

And then they put black paint in your eyes

They made you smaller than life-size

And they threw rocks at you

And chipped your pretty coat

When they knew you had to wear that coat forever

Little tin soldier they neglected to give you a tongue

They fixed your legs so you could not run

And then they put you in boxes and sold you

None of them ever wanted to hold you

They just set fire to you

And singed your gallant plume

And they made you lie in boxes all together

And from the tiny dark glass

Of all those tiny prisons

I can hear tin soldiers singing

With the silence of their fears

Let it not rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors

Let it not rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors

I can hear tin soldiers singing

With the silence of their fears

Don't let it rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors

Don't let it rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors

Let it not rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors

Don't let it rain tomorrow

So they will stay outdoors.....
