A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
in a little tent
oh,and just like the river
Ive been running ever since
Its been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come,
oh,yes,it will
Its been too hard living,
But Im afraid to die
Cos I dont know whats up there
beyond the sky
Its 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 dont hang around
Its 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!
Thereve been times that I thought I couldnt last for long
But now I think Im able to carry on.
Its been a long
A long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come
oh,yes,it will.
