Did you see them going off to fight?
Children of the barricade who didn’t last the night?
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
Did you see them lying side by side?
Who will wake them?
No one ever will
No one ever told them
That a summer day can kill
They were schoolboys
Never held a gun
Fighting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun
Where’s that new world now the fighting’s done?
Nothing changes
Nothing ever will
Every year another brat, another mouth to fill
Same old story. What’s the use of tears?
What’s the use of praying if there’s nobody who hears?
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Through the years
Turning, turning, turning through the years
Turning, turning
Minutes into hours, and the hours into years
Minutes, hours
Nothing changes, nothing ever can
Nothing changes, nothing ever can
Round about the roundabout and back where you began
Round about the roundabout
Round and round and back where you began!
