Description
A boy obsessed with war and the military dreams about one day becoming a soldier. Whilst playing with his military toys, he wishes that he could enter the world of his toy soldiers and fight alongside them on the battlefield. Suddenly he realises that he has been transformed into a toy soldier and transported to their world. Initially he sees war as he had always imagined – glorious, heroic and exciting, but its not long until he sees war as it really is – horrific and gruesome. War is hell. After returning to reality, he no longer wants to be a soldier or play with military toys anymore.

I think, too, that the video is well done, involved a lot of work and technical expertise, but - somehow I don't get the connection to the title of the song. Who is supposed to wait for who?
Thanks guys, appreciate your compliments
