A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
in a little tent
oh,and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come,
oh,yes,it will
It's been too hard living,
But I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky
It's been a long,
A long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come,
oh,yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
oh,yes,it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say,"brother,help me,please "
But he winds up
knocking me
Back down on my knees
oh!
There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on.
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come
oh,yes,it will.
