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.....
