The Times They Are A' Changin' Lyrics - In Concert - Peter, Paul & Mary

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 prophecise 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 the hall 

For he that' gets hurt will be he who has stalled 

And 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 if 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'
