Keb’ Mo’ - The Times They Are A-Changin' lyrics

Come, gather 'round 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 savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who
Prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide the
Chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for
The wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen, please
Heed the call don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be
The one who has stalled

There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend a hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn and the curse
It is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
And the present now will later be past

And the order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'
