A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics
A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics
I was born by the river
in a little tent
oh, and just like the river
I been a 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.
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
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.
