Bilingual
Did you see them going out 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 a new world that would rise up like the sun
Where's that new world now that 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)
Minutes into hours (Turning through the years)
And the hours into years (Minutes, hours)
Nothing changes (Hours into minutes)
Nothing ever can (Nothing changes)
Round and round (Nothing ever can)
The roundabout and (Round and round)
Back where you began (The roundabout)
Round and round and back where you began
