The Side of a Hill Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 the little cloud weeps on 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
