Turning Lyrics by Les Misérables: International Cast

Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording

[WOMAN #1]
Did you see them going off to fight?
[WOMAN #2]
Children of the barricade who didn't last the night
[WOMAN #3]
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
[WOMAN #4]
Did you see them lying side by side?
[WOMAN #5]
Who will wake them?
[WOMAN #6]
No one ever will
[WOMAN #4]
No one ever told them
That a summer day can kill
[WOMAN #7]
They were schoolboys
Never held a gun
Fighting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun
[WOMAN #3]
Where's that new world now the fighting's done?
[WOMAN #4]
Nothing changes
[WOMAN #8]
Nothing ever will
[WOMAN #3]
Every year another brat, another mouth to fill
[WOMAN #2]
Same old story, what's the use of tears?
[WOMAN #1]
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?
[WOMEN #1–8]
Turning, turning
Turning, turning, turning through the years
[WOMEN #1–4, WOMEN #5–8]
Turning, turning (Turning, turning)
Turning through the years (Turning)
Minutes into hours (Turning through the years)
And the hours into years (Minutes, hours)
Nothing changes (Hours into years)
Nothing ever can (Nothing changes)
Round and round (Nothing ever can)
The roundabout and (Round and round)
Back where you began (The roundabout)
[ALL]
Round and round and back where you began
