Turning

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 kissed them when they cried Did you see them lying side by side? Who will wake them? Noone ever will Noone 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 Minutes into hours and the hours into years Nothing changes, nothing ever can Round and round and round and round and back where you began Round and round and back where you began
