This week the wind seemed to shift. From President Obama's inaugural speech to Hillary Clinton's testimony to the Pentagon's lifted combat ban, progressives are no longer obsolete. Bob Dylan must know how we feel. Sing to the tune of "The Times They Are A-Changin'":
Come gather round people
Our time is at hand
A new breeze is blowin'
Across the whole land
Our president spoke
And he made a command
That it's time for us to start livin'
The words that our forefathers wrote long ago
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 hall
Get out of the way
If you can't accept all
For the tent that's our country
Grows bigger
And the sooner you get it the better we'll be
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The sides are made clear
Cling to the past
Source of all fear
Block out the noises
You don't want to hear
The old world is
Gradually fadin'
Freedom and rights always win in the end
For the times they are a-changin'.
