Tin Soldier Never Stops

Lyrics

Verse 1
Tiny boots on a kitchen tile
Chipped paint
Crooked little smile
Rust heart ticking like a distant bomb
Key in his spine and he’s gone
He’s gone

Chorus
Wind-up tin soldier
Always marching on
Through the dust and the dark till the dream is gone
Every little step screams “bring it on
Bring it on”
He falls
He cracks
He stands back up
Tin soldier marches on

Verse 2
Toys fall silent when the house lights fade
He storms through crumbs like a red parade
Scars on his metal from a thousand falls
Still hears drums in the hallway walls

Chorus
Wind-up tin soldier
Always marching on
Through the dust and the dark till the dream is gone
Every little step screams “bring it on
Bring it on”
He falls
He cracks
He stands back up
Tin soldier marches on

Bridge
Who turns the key when the spring runs dry? (hey!)
Who lifts him up when he can’t stand high?
He just leans into the grind
Into the storm
Little iron heart staying loud
Staying warm

Chorus
Wind-up tin soldier
Always marching on
Through the dust and the dark till the dream is gone
Every little step screams “bring it on
Bring it on”
He falls
He cracks
He stands back up
Tin soldier marches on
