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 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
