Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by a river in a little old tent
Lord, and just like that river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I
Always believed change was gonna come
It's been much too hard living, but I'm so scared to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long, a long time coming
But I knew change was gonna come
I used to go to the movies
And I try to go downtown
Somebody was always there telling me
"Little girl, you can't come around"
It's been a long, long, long, a long, long time coming
But I, I always knew change was gonna come
And I used to go to my brother
And I'd say, "Brother, brother, won't you help me, please?"
But he always wind up
Knockin' me
Back down, down on my knees
There've been times when I thought
I thought sure I wouldn't last for long
But now I believe, I'm able, I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long, long, long, a long, long time coming
But I, I knew a change was gonna come
Oh my, it's been a long, a long time coming
But, change has come
Lord, and just like that river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I
Always believed change was gonna come
It's been much too hard living, but I'm so scared to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long, a long time coming
But I knew change was gonna come
I used to go to the movies
And I try to go downtown
Somebody was always there telling me
"Little girl, you can't come around"
It's been a long, long, long, a long, long time coming
But I, I always knew change was gonna come
And I used to go to my brother
And I'd say, "Brother, brother, won't you help me, please?"
But he always wind up
Knockin' me
Back down, down on my knees
There've been times when I thought
I thought sure I wouldn't last for long
But now I believe, I'm able, I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long, long, long, a long, long time coming
But I, I knew a change was gonna come
Oh my, it's been a long, a long time coming
But, change has come
