lyrics

At the toll plaza they don't take my money, gonna lay my honey down
At the courthouse the verdict is a virtual farce, gonna lay me on the ground
When I was younger and full of wonder, gonna lay my money down
Older turned'er into wooden soldiers, now my honey's not around
Been alone, cashed out that loan
What do you own when you can't take a chance?
Found a stone to call my own, until the sea has it's final dance

Maybe fear is gonna raise our children, gonna lay my honey down
What they're marching for is what we're building, as the world keeps spinning round.
It's worth the wait, it's heaven sent
Residence of precendents
You made it big baby, can't you see?
Everyone's talking bout what you mean to me

Wooden soldiers marching proud and tall we can rise and fall we can change
