The Times They are a Changing      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hD37WWo27M


Gather around people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

Is worth saving

Then you better start swimming

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changing




Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

Keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

Don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there is no telling who

That it's naming

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they, they are a-changin'




Come senators, Congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand at the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it's raging

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changing





Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

Don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly aging

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend a hand

For your times they are a-changing





The line it is drawn

And the curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'
