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
|
