On Monday many Alabama football players wanted to march for racial justice. Nick Saban led them.

It would not be surprising if a certain song is on Alabama football coach, Nick Saban’s playlist. Whether it is or not, the lyrics below spoke to a movement in the early 1960s. They may be speaking again.

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 savin’
And you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’

Bob Dylan is an American songwriting treasure.
