On the side of a hill, in a land called somewhere

A little boy lies asleep in the earth

While down in the valley a crew orages

And people forget what a child's life is worth



On the side of a hill, a little cloud weeps

And waters the gray with its silent tears

While a soldier cleans a polishes a gun

That ended a life at the age of seven years



And the war rages on in the 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
