A CHANGE IS GONNA COME
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change gonna come oh yes it is
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change gonna come oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change gonna come oh yes it is
There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change gonna come oh yes it is
