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 a stone
And the valley people swore they'd have ot for their very own

Chorus:
      Go ahead and hate your neighbour
      Go ahead and cheat a friend
      Do it in the name of Heaven
      Justify it in the end
      There won't be any trumpets blowing
      Come the judgement 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 whilch 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

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