On the side of a hill 
In a land called Somewhere 
A little boy lies a sleep 
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 a 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 a 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
