Story Behind The Song
I had the the first lines of the song "The Times they Are A Changin' " for some reason hit me as I was laying down to sleep. And all of this song flowed to me in about 10 minutes. I scrambled to type it out in notepad as fast as I could.

Lyrics
Come one
Come all
Through jaded eyes
If you can see
behind their disguise
mothers and fathers
With bloodstained hands
Don't pass along wisdom
You don't understand
For the ripples today
Will flood the minds
And what you see today
will be left behind
[ Chorus ] And when the lights finally shining down
Like mice you scurry round
I hope and pray you'll see the light
I hope and pray you'll love and not fight
I hope and pray
[ Instrumental ]
Come writers and poets
Dreaming wild with the pen
Is it too late
To start all over again
In this life we live
we may never win
The world is a chance
Let's give it a spin
[ Chorus ]
[ Instrumental ]
And whose to blame
If you can't see yourself
When respect and truth are left on a shelf
The glass dream you see
Is not what you felt
You may think your rich
But love is the wealth
[ Chorus ]
[ Instrumental ]
[ Outro ]
