Tin Soldier

By Draven

I am the hero that every child needs

I am the soldier that every mother weeps

I am the one who is standing alone

I am the Tin Soldier that rides away

I am the savior of those who are in pain

I am the protecter of all those weaker than me

I am the one who is last seen

I am the Tin Soldier who rides away

I am in pain even though I dont look it

I am filled with sorrow for those I could not protect

I am wracked with the ruin I have seen

I am the Tin Soldier that rides away

the very last one to stand is...me
