A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent, and oh
Just 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
But I'm afraid to die
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, oh yes it is

Then I go to see my brother
I say brother, help me please
But he wind up knocking me
I got down on my knees

There were times when I thought
I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, long time comin', but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Oh, yes it will

Oh, yes it will
I'm telling you, yes it will
Don't you hear me now?
Oh, yes it will
Oh yes it will, yeah man
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah
