Thrown Away Soldier
Verse 1
When I was a young boy
I play with my little toy Soldiers
Stand them all up in a row
I somehow knew it would beMy own destiny,Off into a real war I would go
The horrors that I saw there
Replay in my mind
Time after time
Chorus
Sometimes I feel just like my little toy soldier
The one I threw away
Because he kept falling over
Broken in two replaced by a new one
With a new gun
Sometimes I feel
Like a Thrown Away Solider
Verse 2
Since I made it back home
I feel so lost and alone
Why is it no one seems to understand
My wife is packing to leave
I'm losing my family
She says she can't live with this changed man
The horrors that I saw there
Still haunt me everyday
They Just won't fade away
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
The wounds that I suffer are to deep inside my mind
They just won't heal it will take some time
Until they do I'm left behind
Chorus
Sometimes I feel just like my little toy soldier
The one I threw away
Because he kept falling over
Broken in two replaced by a new one
With a new gun
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like a Thrown Away Soldier
