On the side of a hill
In a land called Somewhere
A little boy lies a sleep in the earth
While down in the valley
A cruel war rages
And people forget what a child's life is worth
On the side of a hill
A little cloud weeps
And waters a grave with its silent tears
While a soldier cleans
And polishes a gun
That ended a life at the age of seven years
And the war rages on
In a land called Somewhere
And generals order their men to kill
And to fight for a cause they've long ago
forgotten
While a little cloud weeps
On the side of a hill
