One Tin Soldier
"I am just a toy thrown to the side of the road."

I found a song that I really love. It's called One Tin Soldier... Here it is....

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 a stone,
And the people in the valley swore they'd have it for their very own.

Chorus:
Go ahead and hate you neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven, Justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
On that 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.
Come an answer from the kingdom: "with our brothers we will share
All the secrets from our mountain, all the riches buried there."

Chorus:
Go ahead and hate you neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven, Justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
On that bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away


Now the valley cried with anger; mount your horses, draw your swords,
And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red,
Turn the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said.

Chorus:
Go ahead and hate you neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven, Justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
On that bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away
*************************************************
It's about a gready village under a mountain that wanted something that a village on the mountain had. The Mountain village said they would share but the valley village wanted it all so a war took place. The valley village won but in the end, the they found that they had killed so many for nothing and that the people who wanted them to be friends with now hated them. To me, this sounds almost like My life at the momment. I'm in a big fight with one of my freinds and though we're not fighting because of a treasure or we're not killing anyone but many people have been being pulled into this and I just don't want anyone else to be as well... It's almost like we're fighting for our own peace that is really different. His is for me to say the hell away from him and mine is to go back to the way things were before.With me, him, and Vicca best freinds again and that we would do fun stuff together. Of course My peace will never come... and I don't know If my friends peace will come until he graguates and moves away this year. Well I hope you liked the song anyway.
