Song by Women Of Paris<br /><br>

WOMAN ONE<br>

Did you see them<br>

Going off to fight?<br>

<br>

WOMAN TWO<br>

Children of the barricade<br>

Who didn't last the night?<br>

<br>

WOMAN THREE<br>

Did you see them<br>

Lying where they died?<br>

Someone used to cradle them<br>

And kiss them when they cried.<br>

<br>

WOMAN FOUR<br>

Did you see them lying side by side?<br>

<br>

WOMAN FIVE<br>

Who will wake them?<br>

<br>

WOMAN SIX<br>

No one ever will.<br>

<br>

WOMAN TWO<br>

No one ever told them<br>

That a summer day can kill.<br>

<br>

WOMAN SEVEN<br>

They were schoolboys<br>

Never held a gun...<br>

Fighting for a new world<br>

That would rise up like the sun.<br>

<br>

WOMAN THREE<br>

Where's that new world now the fighting's done?<br>

<br>

WOMAN FOUR <br>

Nothing changes.<br>

<br>

WOMAN SEVEN<br>

Nothing ever will.<br>

<br>

WOMAN EIGHT<br>

Every year another brat, another mouth to fill.<br>

<br>

WOMAN SEVEN<br>

Same old story. What's the use of tears?<br>

<br>

WOMAN FIVE<br>

What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?<br>

<br>

ALL <br>

Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning<br>

Through the years. <br>

<br>

Turning, turning, turning through the years<br>

Minutes into hours and the hours into years.<br>

Nothing changes. Nothing ever can<br>

Round about the roundabout and back where you began.<br>

Round and round and back where you began!<br>

<br>
