(Women sweeping barricades)
Women1:
Did you see them going off to fight?
Women2:
Children of the barricade who didnt last the night
Women3:
Did you see them lying where they died?
Women4:
Someone use to cradle them and kiss them when the cried
Women2:
Did you see them lying side by side?
Women5:
Who will wake them?
Women6:
No one ever will
No one ever told them that a summer day can kill
Women7:
They were school boys never held a gun
Fighting for a new world that would rise up like the sun
Women4:
Where's that new world when the fighting's done?
Women8:
Nothing changes nothing ever will
Women1:
Every year another brought
another month to fear
Women6:
Same old story what's the use of tears?
Women3:
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?
All women:
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning, turning, through the years
Turning, turning, turning, through the years
Minutes into hours and hours into years
Nothing changes nothing ever can
Round and round and back were you began
