The Times They Are A-Changin’ (Palm Sunday version) Come gather round people wherever you roam Galilee or Judea, Corinth or Rome Wherever you've travelled from this is your home Jerusalem's festival is waiting And the king on a donkey is one of our own Yeah the times they are a-changing Come prophets and teachers, come Pharisees too And see what the King on his donkey will do If you're cheating the poor then he's coming for you And he isn't afraid to turn tables He will take your injustice and replace it with the truth Yeah the times they are a-changing Come kings on your thrones with your weapons in hand And armies in readiness at your command Leaving trails of destruction all over the land As you sit there ranting and raging But the king on the donkey has peace in his hands For the times they are a-changing Come women and men, the old and the young, The uncertain, the lonely, the prodigal sons, Let the king on the donkey loosen your tongue Grab your palm branches high and start waving There's plenty of Hosannas left to be sung For the times they are a-changing The line it is drawn, the die it is cast, And the world as we know it will soon be surpassed Cos the king on the donkey is coming on fast The old order is rapidly fading Yeah the last shall be first and the first shall be last For the times they are a-changing richclarksonpoetry.com
Inspired by today's @togetheralliance.bsky.social and #NoKings marches I've rewritten Bob Dylan's "The times they are a-changin'" as a Palm Sunday protest song for tomorrow's Palm Sunday service!
