A Change is Gonna Come

I was born by the river, in a little tent
Just like the river 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 living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Above 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 movies
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 is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

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

There've been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I'm able to carry on

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