I was born by the river,
In a little tent,
And oh just like the river, ive been running ever since.
It'
S been a long a long time coming but i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
It'
S been too hard living yeah but i'
M afraid i'
M afraid to die, but i dont know what'
S up there beyond the sky.
It'
S been a long a long time coming but i know a change is gonna come oh yes it will.
And i go to the movie, and i go, i go down town, somebody keep telling me don'
T you hang around.
It'
S been a long a long time coming but i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
Then i go, to my brother, and i say brother wont you help me please,
But he winds up knockin, knockin me, back down, back down on my knees, theres been times when i fall when i thought i could last for long, but now, now i think im able to carry on.
It'
S been a long a long time coming but i know, i know, i know, i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will.
It'
S been a long a long time coming but i know i know a change is gonna come.
