One toy soldier
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
[top]
One toy soldier stands alone
with his drum down by his side
One toy soldier on his own
with his drum to keep the time
He keeps the beat
of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He's one small toy
for one small boy
but his heart is oh, so blue.
Who can mend my broken drum?
Will it be as good as new?
I must play when morning comes.
If I don't, what shall I do?
He keeps the beat
of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
while children sleep
in dreams so deep
there's a secret he must hide.
For he keeps the beat
of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He wants to sing
and hopes to bring
Happy holidays to you.
He keeps the beat
of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
Someone has come
To mend his drum
Now his heart lights up with pride.
So, he keeps the beat
of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
When morning comes
He plays his drum
Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you!
Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you!
Holidays are here again. Holidays are here again. Holidays are here again. Holidays are here again.

This segment is the favourite of mine. The recollection of probably the most endearing conversation between Roma and Enya, 'please Roma the soldier must be ok, because it is Christmas Day', so sweet.
"it could be very tatty and very old but you love it deary" that is such a sweet way of putting it I can totally empathize with
The queen!
love the miraculum version to this melody :)
Oh Moya, you are so lovely. ~ Thanks
Very neat video
Feliz Navidad Enya.🎄🎄🎄

I wonder what it is with artists only ever giving you a prose version of their lyrics as "the meaning". "One Toy Soldier is about a toy soldier" - YES we got that... it's the metaphor level... but the "MEANING" is in the lyrics, beyond the apparent fantasy. It's about the unknown origin of Christmas and how the people who bring us happiness can be the most lonely, or have to hide a secret, because "Children sleep in dream so deep"! Why don't they talk about this instead of just rephrasing the words of the song... Art is supposed to work for that awakening. Especially since the song then got reworked into "Miraculum" which is about the identity of the Elves "sailing" (ascending), and what brought that knowledge to them (the Evening Star or the person whom Catholics claim to hold in high esteem).

I think you should confine yourself to the locker room. Maybe you think too much?
