🎶 “The Brave Tin Soldier” 🎶

🎵 Verse 1

🎵 Once there was a soldier small,
Made of tin, but brave and tall.
He had one leg, but stood with pride—
In a box of twenty-five. 🪖

🎵 Verse 2

🎵 In the room, he saw a star,
A paper girl who danced afar.
She stood on one foot just like he—
Graceful, strong, and proud as can be. 🎀

🎵 Verse 3

🎵 The goblin in a box nearby,
Watched them both with jealous eyes.
👾 “Stay away!” the goblin cried,
But the soldier stood and held his pride.

🎵 Verse 4

🎵 When midnight came, the toys all stirred—
The box creaked open with a word:
👾 “You’ve been warned!” the goblin said…
Then morning came—and out he sped.

🎵 Verse 5

🎵 Out the window, wind and rain—
He tumbled down the gutter drain.
A paper boat became his ride,
Through sewers dark and rivers wide.

🎵 Verse 6

🎵 A rat stood guard, a fish appeared—
It swallowed him, then disappeared. 🐟
But fate was kind—the fish was sold—
And out he came, brave and bold.

🎵 Verse 7

🎵 Back at home, he looked and saw—
The paper dancer, still in awe.
🎀 One foot poised, her smile so kind—
But danger crept up from behind…

🎵 Verse 8

🎵 The goblin’s rage set flame to floor—
The dancer burned, the soldier more.
But when the fire’s light grew dim…
A ribbon and a heart were him. 💔

🎵 Final Verse (soft)

🎵 No longer toys upon the shelf—
But love and courage showed their self.
In ash and flame, their bond stayed true…
And hearts remember what they do.
