Now listen up people there's no time to lose
We all have a duty we cannot refuse
The planet's in peril, that's no longer news
And the damage is so widely ranging
Will it be life or death? We're the ones who must choose
For the times they are a-changing
We can see global warming is out of control
With tornadoes and hurricanes taking their toll
And we're making it worse for we're still burning coal
If the future to you is worth saving
Then it's time to take action. We all have a role
For the times they are a-changing
With the crisis upon us we can't close our eyes
We have already sifted the truth from the lies
Now the evidence mounts and it can't be denied
Our stewardship must be sustaining
For where can we go when the sea levels rise?
For the times they are a-changing
Will our grandchildren suffer or will they breathe free?
Will their grandchildren ever sail seas that are clean?
Will they mourn all the animals they'll never see?
Will they thank us or will they be raging?
Will the world be a desert or will it be green?
For the times they are a-changing
