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

A long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die'

Cause 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

When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother

And I say, “

Brother, help me please”

But he winds up knockin' me

Right down on my, on the knees

And there been times that

I thoughtI couldn't last for long

But now I think

I'm able to carry on

It's been a long

A long, long time coming

Well, I know,

I know change gonna come

Oh, yes it will

It's been a long

It's been a long, long time coming

Well, I know,

I know, I know change gonna come

Oh, yes it will
