A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics

I was born by the river in a little tent
Just like that river, I've been runnin' ever since

It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

It's been too hard a-livin' but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
I say "Brother help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down, back down on my knees

Whoa there've been times, I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

It's been too hard a-livin' but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
