Toy Soldiers
Here the wooden soldiers were to stand
They waited for their command
Although they were not real
They spoke and thought as if they could feel
I wonder where our general is I wonder where he’s gone
We need a leader who is brave powerful and strong
Without him we are just wooden and must stand still
No general to call us and have us do his will
Their eyes began to brighten as in walked their leader
Though something was wrong with him they wondered why
Why does our leader fall to the ground and cry
The young boy stood and walked to his army which he could command
The one place he felt safe where no one would lift their hands
To his soldiers he started to say
Help me destroy him take him away
My Wooden soldiers you will protect your general until he mends
To battle we will go and fight until the end
The soldiers knew what was wrong with their leader now
The pain that was inflicted on him revenge they vowed
We will not let you down our general we will comply
All of us will protect you and we understand why
That scary monster that hurts you him we do not fear
We know he has been attacking you throughout the years
He lined up his soldiers and prepared for the final fight
The monster that haunts you will perish tonight
The soldiers were prepared and set-up by their rank
Suddenly in walked the monster and to his knees he sank
The soldiers saw as the monster came inside
To their surprise he had their leader’s eyes
Away went their general with fear and tears
The monster that hurt him was finally here
No more screams were heard as the boy was taken away
In a dark room quiet the wooden soldiers lay
A child’s imagination was broken that night
All because he was too young to fight
Had his neighbors spoken when they heard his cries
That innocent young boy might still be alive
