A Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like forever I've 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 leaving
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 is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
Then I go to the movie
And I go downtown (I go downtown)
Somebody keeps telling me don't
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 (ooh, I go to my brother)
And I say "brother, help me, please" (help me, please)
But he wises me up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there've been times that I thought
I could last for long (ooh, ooh)
Now I think I've been able
To carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
In a little tent
Oh, and just like forever I've 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 leaving
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 is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
Then I go to the movie
And I go downtown (I go downtown)
Somebody keeps telling me don't
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 (ooh, I go to my brother)
And I say "brother, help me, please" (help me, please)
But he wises me up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there've been times that I thought
I could last for long (ooh, ooh)
Now I think I've been able
To carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
