| The Times They Are A-Changin' Lyrics Artist(Band):Bob Dylan
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 he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is 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 your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn 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'. If you find some error in The Times They Are A-Changin' Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about The Times They Are A-Changin' Prophetic street anthem for our times | Reviewer: Steve Borrow | 3/5/2008 Reviewer: sbo25100@bigpond.net.au | 3/1/2008 This song was written at a time when the civil rights movement was building a powerful momentum and the youth of the world were questioning the injustices they had inherited. It is, in one sense, a messianic prophesy and, in another, a call to arms. Bob calls on us (“people wherever we roam”) to prepare ourselves for an enveloping tide of social change that he predicts will unsettle the current order of things. He issues a plea to the keepers of conventional wisdom: parents, politicians, and writers, to accept the inevitability of this or be overwhelmed by it. The youth, he warns, can no longer be contained and will demand that your old ideas give way to their new vision. Like many of the Bob Dylan’s songs written at this time, it became something of an anthem for the international protest movement. Bob was right, of course. The times were a'changing, are a'changing, and will continue to change. Just ask Joe Hill when next you see him.
