Bird got to fly,

Tiger got to hunt;

Man got to sit and wonder “why, why, why?”

Tiger got to sleep,

Bird got to land;

Man got to tell himself he understand.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I did not speak out;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
