A change is gonna come (American idol performance)

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
Ive been runnin ever since
Its been a long, long time comin
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Its been too hard livin
But im afraid to die
I dont know whats up there
Beyond the sky
Its been a long, a long time comin
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And i go downtown
Somebodys tellin me
Dont you hang around
Its been a long, long time comin
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then i go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well
There were times that i thought
I couldnt make it alone
But now im able, im able
To carry on
Its been a long, a long time comin
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Lord, its been a long time comin
But i know, a change is gonna come
