"In Germany, at first they came for communists, and I didn't speak-because I'm not a communist;

Then they came after the Jews, and I didn't speak-because I'm not Jewish; Later, they came after union members, and I didn't speak-because I'm not a union member; After that, they came after Catholics, and I didn't speak-because I was a Protestant; Finally, they came to me, but no one stood up for me anymore.

"In Germany, when they put their talons to * * *, I didn't speak, because I'm not * * *; When they reached out to the Jews, I didn't speak, because I was not Jewish; When they extended their claws to Catholicism, I didn't speak, because I was not a Catholic; Finally, when they reached out to me, I looked around; No one speaks for me.
