Bobby Dylan Warned Us
There are people in this world today,
Who know they have something special to say,
So listen, Listen.
They may be right, and we may be wrong,
So they try in a song to help us along,
If you listen, just listen
Bob Dylan warned us years ago,
“To gather round people wherever you roam”
You need to keep watch “All along the watchtower”,
For “The times they are a-changing.”
Water in the ground, water in the sky,
but where is the water for you and I,
Nowhere. Nowhere
We’re not safe at home now nor while we’re away,
Extremists are planning to blow us away
Be wary, Wary
We’re screwing up the climate in every which way,
So now storms get more violent every day
No stopping, consumption.
Bob Dylan warned us years ago “To gather round people wherever you roam”
You need to keep watch “All along the watchtower”,
For “The times they are a-changing”
So now let me think have we heeded his warning,
Can we honestly say as we wake up each morning,
I Listened, Listened
