Then they came for the Socialists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me --
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
