Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Eternal Questions: Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
Lyrics
Where have all the flowers gone
Reflecting on the disappearance of flowers
Long time passing
A long time has passed since the flowers vanished
Where have all the flowers gone
Reiterating the question about the missing flowers
Long time ago
The flowers disappeared a long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone
Repeating the question on the absence of flowers
Young girls picked them, every one
Youthful girls picked all the flowers
When will they ever learn?
Expressing a concern about learning from past actions
When will they ever learn?
Reiterating the question of when they will learn
Where have all the young girls gone
Asking about the whereabouts of young girls
Long time passing
It's been a long time since young girls were around
Where have all the young girls gone
Repeating the question about the absence of young girls
Long time ago
Youthful girls vanished a long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone
Wondering where all the young girls have gone
Gone to young men, every one
They have grown up and gone to young men
When will they ever learn?
Expressing frustration about the learning process
When will they ever learn?
Repeating the question of when they will learn
Where have all the young men gone
Questioning the whereabouts of young men
Long time passing
A significant amount of time has passed since young men were present
Where have all the young men gone
Reiterating the question about the absence of young men
Long time ago
Youthful men disappeared a long time ago
Where have all the young men gone
Asking where all the young men have gone
Gone to soldiers, every one
They have become soldiers
When will they ever learn?
Expressing concern about the learning curve
When will they ever learn?
Repeating the question of when they will learn
Where have all the soldiers gone
Inquiring about the whereabouts of soldiers
Long time passing
It's been a long time since soldiers were around
Where have all the soldiers gone
Reiterating the question about the absence of soldiers
Long time ago
Youthful soldiers vanished a long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone
Asking where all the soldiers have gone
Gone to graveyards, every one
They have gone to graveyards
When will they ever learn?
Expressing frustration about the learning process
When will they ever learn?
Repeating the question of when they will learn
Where have all the graveyards gone
Questioning the whereabouts of graveyards
Long time passing
A significant amount of time has passed since graveyards were present
Where have all the graveyards gone
Reiterating the question about the absence of graveyards
Long time ago
Youthful graveyards vanished a long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone
Asking where all the graveyards have gone
Gone to flowers, every one
They have turned into flowers
When will they ever learn?
Expressing frustration about the repeated cycle
When will they ever learn
Repeating the question of when they will learn
