| | One Tin Soldier Lyrics Artist(Band):Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
by Lambert-Potter, sung by Coven 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 the stone, And the valley-people swore They'd have it for their very own. Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can 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 which they'd kill. Came an answer from the kingdom, "With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there." Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses! Draw your sword!" 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. Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can 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. Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can 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.

I love this song yuo should play it every day on the radio station 107.7 even though that station is for hip hop you still should play it. dedication | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/2007 this song has been used time and again to use as a dedication to the soldiers who fight and die willingly for our freedom. without those soldiers, there would never be peace, and no one would be free to do what they please, many more people would have died. i honour them and this song. Where it's from. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/2005 They used this song in the movie "The Legend of Billy Jack" from the late 70's I believe. I thought the song was originally sung by Coven though?
