Where have all the Palestinians gone, long time passing?
Where have all the Palestinians gone, long time ago?
Where have all the Palestinians gone?
Torn from their villages, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where have all the children gone, long time passing?
Where have all the children gone, echoes blow?
Where have all the children gone?
Lost to the rubble, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where have all the mothers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the mothers gone, weeping slow?
Where have all the mothers gone?
Clutching silence, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where have all their voices gone, long time passing?
Where have all their voices gone, muffled low?
Where have all their voices gone?
Buried in headlines, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where have all the hearts gone, long time passing?
Where have all the hearts gone, cold as stone?
Where have all the hearts gone?
Turned the other way, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where has justice wandered to, long time passing?
Where has justice wandered to, does anyone know?
Where has justice wandered to?
Lost in the darkness, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

And where will our conscience go, if we do nothing?
Where will our conscience go, after the show?
Where will our conscience go?
Gone with Palestine, every one.
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

*Built on the structure of Pete Seeger‘s “Where Have All The Flowers Gone”
