Lyrics

[00:15.53] Women1:
[00:15.87] Did you see them going off to fight?
[00:19.75] Women2:
[00:20.00] Children of the barricade
[00:22.42] who didn't last the night
[00:24.54] Women3:
[00:24.75] Did you see them
[00:27.32] lying where they died?
[00:29.29] Women4:
[00:29.50] Someone used to cradle them
[00:31.78] and kiss them when they cried
[00:33.96] Women2:
[00:34.21] Did you see them lying side by side?
[00:39.63] Women5:
[00:39.91] Who will wake them?
[00:42.52] Women6:
[00:42.74] No one ever will
[00:44.88] No one ever told them
[00:47.29] that a summer day can kill
[00:49.55] Women7:
[00:49.80] They were school boys
[00:52.43] never held a gun
[00:54.72] Fighting for a new world
[00:56.89] that would rise up like the sun
[00:58.92] Women4:
[00:59.13] Where's that new world
[01:02.07] when the fighting's done?
[01:05.28] Women8:
[01:05.53] Nothing changes
[01:08.53] nothing ever will
[01:10.54] Women1:
[01:10.79] Every year another brat
[01:13.82] another mouth to fill
[01:16.42] Women6:
[01:16.70] Same old story
[01:19.27] what's the use of tears?
[01:21.35] Women3:
[01:21.60] What's the use of praying
[01:23.87] if there's nobody who hears?
[01:26.60] All women:
[01:26.84] Turning, turning, turning,
[01:31.08] turning, turning through the years
[01:34.97] ...
[01:36.50] Turning, turning, turning through the years
[01:43.47] Minutes into hours and the hours into years
[01:47.26] Nothing changes, nothing ever can
[01:50.77] Round and round the roundabout
[01:53.11] and back where you began!
[01:54.77] Round and round and back where you began!
[02:01.92]
