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.....
