I don't really have time to play dolls
So my child, don't hold it against me
I'll make up for this time, I promise
But in the meantime, open the bottom drawer
You'll find at the very back, well hidden
Some of my old soldiers
But be careful, you're not allowed to break them
These soldiers are watching 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 an entire 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 in the meantime, read this story
You'll discover the life of Little Thumb
Who is afraid of losing his way
But for you, no need to sow
I've already done it, that's the way 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 an entire army

For tomorrow I would wish for one thing
That you drop the soldiers
Finally not much
That you remain a good little guy

Yeah, I see you my friend
My child, my little guy, my confidant
I see you laughing your head off in the playground, yeah
I see you, arm in arm
With the one who will certainly take you away from me
I see you my little guy, yeah, yeah
I see you
I see you
