cheranne Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Listen children to a story that was written long ago..bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below. In the way internationl we became little soldiers,little unmovable,unshakable...having done stand little tin soldiers all arranged to do our little job with all our heart soul mind and strength. and....anything that came between that was to be cast out,old friends, family..we went to . OZ! Off to see the wizard(vpw)fearless leader MOGFOT. we all became a group of tin soldiers,tin man singing "if I only had a heart" and going down the yellow brick road or pilgrims progress in search for nirvana. Hand in hand across the land we joined in rank ,with green bumber stickers and pfal classes,camoflaged as biblical research in a box of empty wishes and dreams. if we could reach just one...for the tree of life. .....we didn't know we ALWAYS had the heart,the brain,the courage and a home. There is no place like Home....all you people still in twi ..just go home and stop being a little tin soldier. Peace on Earth was all it said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMYZ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just for fun, it should be pointed out that the group that did "One Tin Soldier ( The Legend Of Billy Jack)" was Coven. I'm sure some innie will say there's some spiritual significance to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMMYZ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 OK, looked it up. OriginalCaste's version came out in the beginning of '70, Coven's came out in the fall of '71. Coven's was the bigger hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
