I don't really have time to play with dolls
So my child, don't blame me
I'll make up that time, I promise you
But meanwhile, open the bottom drawer
You'll find, deep inside, well hidden
A few of my old soldiers
But careful, you're not allowed to break them
Those soldiers watch over you
And I see you as a great warrior
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
And I see you as a great warrior
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
I don't really have time to correct your notebooks
But my child, don't worry
If it's not perfect I'll be there to erase
But meanwhile read this story
You'll discover the life of Tom Thumb
Who's afraid of getting lost in his tracks
But for you, no need to sow
I've already done it, that's how it is
And I see you as a great warrior
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
And I see you as a great warrior
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
For tomorrow I'd wish just one thing
That you drop the soldiers
In the end, not much
That you stay a good little guy
And I see you as a great warrior
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
And I see you as a great warrior
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
And I see you like a little schoolboy
Who doesn't fight for fear of hurting
And I see you my buddy, my child
My little guy, my confidant
I see you dying of laughter in the school yard
I see you, arm in arm
Beside the one who'll surely take you away from me
