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 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
