Toy Soldier
Spitting it out, gritting my teeth, the scattered pattern of my heartIf you could pick up this doll’s box, and see underneath it, you might realizeEven if I chant a magic charm, I can’t become an adult…still
Hushing my voice, I’ll be near you quietlyBecause I’ll protect your worldThat’s my true feeling, that I’ll hold onto til the endThis little doll’s dream
Being all on your own is tough,And we all say things that are off the markDisagreements, conflicts, misunderstandings when we hit a block
My boxed-up emotions will stay like this just a little longerIf your dreams are scary and you can’t sleep, I’ll keep watch in your placeIf you’d lift up your face, in front of you is this wonderful unspoken secret
Hushing my voice, I’ll be near you quietlyBecause I’ll protect your worldAnd when my task is finished, it’ll be as before,This little doll’s soliloquy
