Lyrics Les Miserables - Turning

Did you see them
Going off to fight?
Children of the barricade
Who didn't last the night?
They were schoolboys
Never held a gun...
Fighting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun.
Where's that new world now the fighting's done?
Who will wake them?
No one ever will.
No one ever told them
That a summer day can kill.
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
Minutes into hours and the hours into years.
Nothing changes. Nothing ever can.
Round and round the roundabout and back where you began.
Round and round and back where you began!
