    Listining to this song today I thought how well it went along with the WTBTS coverup and the changing tides in the favor of the children, adult survivors and those who are fighting for them.

    THANK YOU BILL BOWEN and COMPANY FOR YOUR EFFORT, HARD WORK, and SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

    THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGING
    Bob Dylan

    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 saving
    Then you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone

    For the times, they are a-changin’

    Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens
    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 telling who that it’s naming
    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 up the halls
    For he that gets hurt will be he that has stalled
    There’s a battle outside and it’s raging
    It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    Come mothers and fathers all over the land
    And don’t criticize what you can’t understand
    Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
    Your old road is rapidly aging
    Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand
    For the times they are a-changin’

    The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
    The slow one will later be fast
    And the present now will soon be the past
    The order is rapidly fading
    The first one now will later be last
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    C

    When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.

    It is so appropriate isn't it?

    Come gather round Witnesses that we have known
    And admit that the waters around you have grown
    And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone
    If your life to you is worth saving
    Then you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    Come writing committes who prophesize with your pens
    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 telling who that it’s naming
    For the loser now will be later to win
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    Come servants and elders, please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the halls
    For he that gets hurt will be he that has stalled
    There’s a battle outside and it’s raging
    It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    Come mothers and fathers all over the land
    And don't go on burying your head in the sand
    Your sons and your daughters they now understand
    Your old road is rapidly aging
    Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand
    For the times they are a-changin’

    The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
    The slow one will later be fast
    And the governing body will soon be the past
    The watchtower is rapidly fading
    The first one now will later be last
    For the times, they are a-changin’

    It took me quite a while to realize that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you.

    This one fits too...

    WALL OF DENIAL ~ Stevie Ray Vaughn

    A wall of denial - is fallin' down
    Wo it's fallin' so hard - down to the ground
    Never knew something so strong could be washed away by tears
    But this wall of denial was just built on fear

    We've all had our demons from the garden of white lies
    Dressed them amused them pullin' wool over our eyes
    Go so far as to love them to keep from letting them go
    All the while they we're killin' us but we couldn't let it show

    No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
    We're never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
    When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
    Down to the ground

    Simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure
    A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
    It makes no difference if we run away in fear
    The little things in life hold us so near

    No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
    (We're) never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
    When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
    Yeah this wall of denial must tumble down
    Down to the ground

    Always,
    Cowboy

    hey cassie
    I was thinkin the same thing one day a while back I was drivin' home and heard the song on the radio and came right home and posted it in vincentgoesunderground. COOL! It is a good song
    uh... at least I think I posted it. I'll be embarrased now if I didn't and was only thinkin about it.

    Rock & Roll you guys? For shame, don't you know it's inspired by the devil? (Just Kidding) I love this song, it sure hits the nail on the head, especially Simon's version :)

    it hurts even more grievously those who dare to tell it." (Judge Ben Lindsey, 1869-1943)
