Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Date: 8/24/2003 2:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 56840    Oh my goodness, this is one brilliant song.. Beautiful, thank you so much for posting this!  
Date: 8/24/2003 4:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 53427    I haven't heard this in years. Thanks for posting it.  
Date: 8/24/2003 7:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    "Go ahead and hate your neighbor; Go ahead and cheat a friend; Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end"....Those are powerful words. I think I saw the movie at least 10 times; I've never forgotten it, or it's message. I've always thought of YOU when thinking of the Billy Jack character in the movie. You have a spirit about you; and you always just seem to appear right at the right time, and whenever needed. THANKS. Thank you for the reminder of this song.  
Date: 8/24/2003 9:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    One of my favorites, can I please share what this reminds me of, by Walt Whitman, I am of the old and young, of the foolish and the wise,
Regardless of others, ever regardful of others,
Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man,
Stuff'd with the stuff that is course and stuff'd with the stuff that is fine,
One of the Nation of many nations, the smallest the same as the largest the same,
A Southerner soon as a Northerner, a planter nonchalant and hospitable down by the Oconee I live,
A Yankee bound my own way ready for trade, my joints the limberest joints on earth and the sternest joints on earth,
A Kentuckian walking the vale of the Elkhorn in my deerskin leggings, a Louisianian or Georgian,
A boatman over lakes or bays or along coasts, a Hoosier, Badger, Buckeye,
At home on Kanadian snow-shoes or up in the bush, or with fisherman off Newfoundland,
At home in the fleet of ice-boats, sailing with the rest and tacking,
At home on the hills of Vermont or in the woods of Maine, or the Texan ranch,
Comrade of Californians, comrade of free North-Westerners, (loving their big proportions,)
Comrade of raftsmen and coalmen, comrade of all who shake hands and welcome to drink and meat,
A learner with the simplest, a teacher of the thoughtfullest,
A novice beginning yet experient of myriads of seasons,
Of every hue and caste am I, of every rank and religion,
A farmer, mechanic, artist, gentleman, sailor, quaker,
Prisoner, fancy-man, rowdy, lawyer, physician, priest.

I resist any thing better than my own diversity,
Breathe the air but leave plenty after me,
And am not stuck up, and am in my place.

Date: 8/27/2003 1:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 28946    I'm like Zema, loved the movie and the message. The song has always been a favorite of mine. Tell me, are you old enough to remember another 70's movie called, :Bless The Beasts And The Children"? It was one of those other haunting movies that gave a powerful message and has influenced me much through the years.
