A change is gonna come
I was born by the river, oh, in a little tent
Oh, and like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Yes it will
And I go to the movies and I go down town
Somebody keeps 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
I say brother, brother won't you help me, please
But he just winds up, knocking me
Oh, back down on my knees
There's be time when I thought I couldn't last for very long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Yes it will
There's a time, when I go to my brother
I say brother, I say brother won't you help me, please
But he just winds up, knocking me down, down, down
Down on my knees
There's be time that I thought I couldn't last for very long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, but I know, I know, I know, I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Oh, and like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Yes it will
And I go to the movies and I go down town
Somebody keeps 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
I say brother, brother won't you help me, please
But he just winds up, knocking me
Oh, back down on my knees
There's be time when I thought I couldn't last for very long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Yes it will
There's a time, when I go to my brother
I say brother, I say brother won't you help me, please
But he just winds up, knocking me down, down, down
Down on my knees
There's be time that I thought I couldn't last for very long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, but I know, I know, I know, I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
