Lyrics Turning - Live - Les Misérables Live! The 2010 Cast

Did you see them going off to fight?
children of the barricade who didn't last the night
they were school boys
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
