Change Is Gonna Come
Watched him walking
Out across the land
When the banker came
And took everything that they had
Took his truck, took his cattle back
Everything but his cowboy hat
Could see the feel of failure in his eyes
Someday my people will fight
We're gonna rise
Up, and this is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even the ones who lose
I'm so tired
Of a picture that's been playing
Of these lands
That I haven't found again
It's in the movies, it's on the TV
But it's all wrong
Here the truth is
It's a reality
It's in this song
Change is gonna come
She said "I'm sorry"
That's all I have today
When she packed her groceries
He took the breath away
Took her man took her baking dish
Everything but her grocery list
Could see the feel of failure in her eyes
Someday my people will fight,
We're gonna rise.
Up, and this is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even though I'm excused
It's gonna come
This is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even though I'm excused
Change is gonna come
It's gonna come
Change, it's gonna come
I'm so tired...
Change, it's gonna come
Out across the land
When the banker came
And took everything that they had
Took his truck, took his cattle back
Everything but his cowboy hat
Could see the feel of failure in his eyes
Someday my people will fight
We're gonna rise
Up, and this is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even the ones who lose
I'm so tired
Of a picture that's been playing
Of these lands
That I haven't found again
It's in the movies, it's on the TV
But it's all wrong
Here the truth is
It's a reality
It's in this song
Change is gonna come
She said "I'm sorry"
That's all I have today
When she packed her groceries
He took the breath away
Took her man took her baking dish
Everything but her grocery list
Could see the feel of failure in her eyes
Someday my people will fight,
We're gonna rise.
Up, and this is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even though I'm excused
It's gonna come
This is for the cause
This is for the truth
This is for the people
Even though I'm excused
Change is gonna come
It's gonna come
Change, it's gonna come
I'm so tired...
Change, it's gonna come
