The Little Soldiers

All the little soldiers walking in a row Where they are heading, nobody knows He tried to satisfy her She tried to blow But he was killing all the little soldiers She didn’t know Now the little soldiers were walking in his head Every single day Pretending to be dead She needed love But he was dead below What could she do She didn’t know All the little soldiers tried to explain They were just going home Now they’re dead in vain He couldn’t satisfy her No matter how hard he tried He couldn’t satisfy her It was like everything had died All the little soldiers walking in a row Heading up to heaven Waving as they go He started to cry She walked away All the little soldiers walking in a row Stopped before the gates Waiting till he showed He was now at peace Forgiveness was bestowed All the little soldiers walking in a row.
