One Tin Soldier

THIS IS JAKE BLUES ^
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 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 who...
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
N' all the riches buried there

Now the valley cried in 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 who...
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 who...
One tin soldier rides away

Awesome song..powerful lyrics..thoght I'd share.
Well I am still leading the Biggest Loser competition. Don't really know what I'm going to do with the money yet..trying not to think about it until I win for sure.
Everything is going well in the household and at Watermark. I got bit by a kid...Garrett escaped Surf City (kids ministry)..I am thankful that I get to spend every Sunday doing something for other people..and grow from learning. Not a whole lot else has been going on..thinking about contacting a friend by Chicago and making some plans to go to Shedds aquarium pretty soon w/ the family. Heard the LAN party at Brents house was spectacular..sorry I could not be there to witness the enjoyment. Ready for some Texas Hold'em with friends..hmmmmm what to say...Duerty has cool hair..gonna miss the Roach
