| | A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics Artist(Band):Bob Dylan
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Review about A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall white ladder | Reviewer: ryan | 10/24/2008 i think madison's interpretation of the line about the ladder was very good, i also believe he called it a white ladder b/c of the white supremacy over african americans in that time, and all black ppl had to struggle to climb it. it is a very good song and my hat's off to dylan. :) | Reviewer: Madison Voris | 10/11/2008 hi everyone, My name is Madison, i am a senior in high school, and i have jut started really getting into Bob Dylans music. This song is so amazing words cant describe how it makes me feel. The lyrics are so meaningful and deep, Bob Dylan is such an amazing singer and song writer! i love the line "I saw a white ladder all covered with water," this is so amazing! to me the ladder represents oportunity, and the water represents struggles, if a ladder is covered in water it is going to be hard to climb. In the 1960's it was really hard for a black person to get good jobs and earn good money, to me they were the ones who had water on white ladders. I dont really know what you might think about it, i could be wronge. i am just so excited that i have taken the time to really listen to Bob Dylan. He has many great messages to share! I also love the unigunes of his voice! It makes every song even more intertesting. Most singers these days focus on the sound of their voices and beat, but Bob was different he focued on his yrics, and truley sent a message that will never be forgotten! I adore him! -Madi :) A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall | Reviewer: jesus Velderrain | 1/6/2008 I just bought Ann Wilson's first ever solo album in which A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is included. As I was listening to the song I knew immediately that it was a Bob Dylan's song. I am just mesmerized by its lyrics and and the way the song is executed by one of the finest voices I have ever heard. Like A Rolling Stone | Reviewer: danny johnson | 10/1/2007 I have listened to Hard Rain's Gonna Fall since I was a teenager in the 1990's and even when I heard it, it was well over 40 years old and should probably have been long forgotten. But age does nothing to lessen the appeal of this song and even to this day, I am amazed at how many children actually like Bob Dylan. Arguably one of the better singer/song writers ever. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall and the Garabandal prophecies 1961-1965 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/7/2005 I reviewed this song yesterday but I have not seen it published or reviewed itself. Peter Prophetic Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/6/2005 This song was written and sung around the same time as apparitions of Mary were taking place in Garabandal and the prophetic content of the prophecies and a hard rain is a gonna fall are similar.I have listened to it since the early seventies and while many other songs are gone off my radar since this one still has a haunting and convincing content. I am aware that Dylan has said that he is just an ordinary person and so he is with loads and loads of talent.I was at a concert of his a few years ago and the people around me knew every word of every song and they were in their forties and fifties.It was terrific.The younger ones were in the park ahead of us and lookes like they were enjoying themselves as much as us. All the same I read on another site that only a handful listen to a hard rain is gonna fall.How does he or she know.? The song is prophetic and gives a hard prospect for mankind but also a soft landing in the end.You have to listen many times to detect the softness.I would see the prophecies of Jesus and John being hinted strongly in this song.I know that Dylan did not meet Jesus formally until many years later but the song is still from the New Testament.I know that Dylan said in answer to a quetion about the slow train coming that it is now coming a lot faster.The song is over forty years old and so are the Garabandal prophecies.Who would say now after all the terrible disasters and the Katrina hurricane disaster that we dont need God.? The Garabandal prophecies 1961 to 1965 are that we will all receive a warning from God,then a miracle,the greatest one Jesus will perform to date and after that if we dont come back to God a chastisment.One of the seers knows the date of the miracle. The connection is that the song and the prophecies are along the same lines and it can happen that God, through the Holy Spirit can prompt a willing soul and Iwould say that Bob Dylan is is one of the best and that this song was inspired from above. 'I will stand on the ocean until I start sinking'is the courage that all people of goodwill will need in future.I could go on and on but brevity is better than going on forever.I have a cd in the car and in my bedroom and near my computer and I listen still and find great meaning in a hard rain is gooa fall.
