A Change is Gonna Come
(James & Bobby Purify)

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh 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

Then 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, I know it will

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

Oh there been times that I thought I 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
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will...
