A Change Is Gonna Come

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 (long time)
A long time coming, but I know
Change gon' come (change's 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 (long time)
A long time coming, but I know
Change's gon' come (change's gonna come)
Oh yes, it will

I go to the movies
And I go downtown
And my friends keep telling me
"Don't, don't hang around"

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

Listen to me baby
Then, I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But then he winds up knockin' me
Back down, back down on to my knees, oh
There are times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now, I know I'm able (oh)
To carry on

It's been a long
(A long time coming)
But I know
Change is
(Change's gonna come)
