I was born
by the river
In a little tent
And just
like the river
I've been running
ever since
it's been a long
long time coming
But I know
my change
is gonna come
oh yeah
it's been
too hard living
But I'm afraid
to die
I don't know want
something
Beyond the sky
It's been a long
a long time coming
But I know
my change
has got to come
oh yeah
I went
Now I go
to the movies
and I go downtown
But somebody keeps
telling me don't
hand around
It's been a long
long time coming
But I know a
change's gon come
oh yes it will
So now I go
to my brother
And I say brother
help me please
But somehow he
winds up knocking me
Back down
on my knees
oh
There's been times
that I thought
I wouldn't last
for long
Now I think I'm able
able to carry on
It's been a long
long time coming
But I know
a change's gon come
yes it will
oh
I know
a change's
gon come
I said I know
a change is
gonna come
Hey
hey
change is gonna come
right now
oh
A change is
gonna come
I see it now
I said a change
is gon come
