Mmmm
the times are changin' – Nothin' ever stays the same, yeah
Mmmm
the times are changin' - The bear and the eagle are to blame, yeah
You
can’t tame a bear and you can’t chain an eagle down
And
you can’t make a river flow upstream
And
the dead don’t make no sound, no sound, no sound
By
tomorrow I’m gonna be on the road again my friend
I
can hear the wild birds callin' my name
I
can hear the wild birds callin' me home
John’s
down by the river and he never sets foot in the city
At
least not by the light of day, eh, yeah, yeah
John’s
down by the river
He
never sets foot in the city
All
he wants to do is get high and play, hey - It feels safer that way
Singin'
Yahweh sunshine, sunshine, light my day
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine light my way
You
gotta stand up and stand out – Raise your voice and shout
Be
a man, make a plan and take a stand – Let it all hang out
Singin'
Yahweh sunshine, sunshine, fill my heart
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine help me do my part
I
can feel the beat beneath the city street - poundin' in my head
Makin'
me wish I'd never done the things I did
Ah
by tomorrow, yeah tomorrow I’m gonna be on the road again, my friend
I
can hear the wild birds calling my name
I
can hear the wild birds calling me home
John’s
by the river and he never sets foot in the city
At
least not by the light of day
John’s
down by the river and he never sets foot in the city
All
he wants to do is get high and play - It feels safer that way – Hey, hey, hey
Singin'
Yahweh sunshine, sunshine heal my bones
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine light my way home
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine in my soul
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine all day long
