![]() The Times, They Are A-Changin' (Rewritten)A Poem by nickchidiacCome gather ‘round friends of the friends I have known, And make peace with the fact that your all all-alone With the fear that the reaper would somehow have known Of the secrets you’re secretly savin’ And you better start lyin’ or your cover is blown.
Oh the times, they are a-changin’
Come fathers and mothers on who’s pedestals we will stand, And keep your mouths closed so your ears understand, And aloud come the words off the palm of my hand. “I’m not the good soul you’ve been raisin’”, And although you will cry and so crudely command,
The times, they are a-changin’
Come lovers and losses and please take a bow, For you presence in this act is not needed now, My belief that not caring is caring somehow, Will star in the show that I’m stagin’ No darlings will dwell, no more crooks in the crowd.
Oh the times, they are a-changin’
Come preachers and teachers, Don’t miss my soapbox rants. Don’t judge me because of the style of my stance, Your impressions are made on the back of my hand, But my hand is too busy waivin’ I’m rising and falling into such a trance.
Oh the times, they are a-changin’
The foot, it is down on the foot of the past, The wheels of my wagon just don’t spin as fast As the mind weaving webs that I’ve focused at last, My notions are narrowly changin’ And the fears I'm afraid of will forever be smashed.
