Tin Soldier Copyright © 2011 Thomas M. Link – All Rights Reserved Verse: I am just a tin soldier In this undeclared war My beliefs are my comfort They’re what I’m fighting for Blame the lazy and wicked That is my battle cry I am just a tin soldier, And I never ask why Verse: I watched the rich fill their coffers I heard rage in the streets Not one tithe would they offer And I believed their deceit Now the rich have their comfort While my countrymen die Am I still a tin soldier? I have tears in my eyes Chorus: And I never thought this could happen to me This is a world that never should be I watched as my world came crumbling down And I heard my own cry – in that terrible sound Bridge: Now you may be rich off the working and poor But, open your eyes to the wolves at the door They may seem weak and you may be strong. But what have you won when the future is gone? Verse: I am just a tin soldier with the battle lines drawn I thought I saw tomorrow In the fires of dawn But the fires were anger And the promise a lie Am I still a tin soldier? I have tears in my eyes Chorus: And I never thought this could happen to me This is a world that never should be I watched as my world came crumbling down And I heard my own cry – in that terrible sound Yes I heard my own cry – in that terrible sound I – am - just – a - tin - soldier -30-
