The Side Of A Hill

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
