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 the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
