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 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 the 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 the land called 'somewhere'
and generals order their men to kill
and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
while the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
