Wedding Chorale / Beggars at the Feast

Did you see them
 Going off to fight?
 Children of the barricade
 Who didn't last the night?
 Did you see them
 Lying where they died?
 Someone used to cradle them
 And kiss them when they cried.
 Did you see them
 Lying side by side?
 Who will wake them?
 No one ever will.
 No one ever told them
 That a summer day can kill.
 They were schoolboys
 Never held a gun
 Fighting for a new world
 That would rise up like the sun
 Where's that world
 Now that the fighting's done?
 Nothing changes, nothing ever will
 Every year another brat, another mouth to fill
 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!
