Lyrics
One day they came and took the communists
And I said nothing because I was not a communist
Then one day they burned the Catholic churches
And I said nothing because I was born a Protestant
One day they came and took the unionists
And I said nothing because I was not a unionist
One day they came and took the people of the Jewish faith
And I said nothing because I had no faith left
Then one day they came and took me
And I could say nothing because I was as guilty as they were
For not speaking out and saying that we all have a right to freedom
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord don't let it happen here
Oh Lord don't let it happen here
Oh Lord don't let it happen here
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Yes I was guilty, as guilty as they were
For not speaking out and saying that we all have a right to freedom
So don't let it happen here
Don't let it happen here
No no
No no
No no
