I was born by the river |
|
In a little tent |
|
Oooooh and just like the river |
|
Ive been runnin ever since |
|
Its been a long |
|
Long time comin |
|
But I know a change gone come |
|
Oh yes it will |
|
Its been too hard to live it |
|
But Im afraid to die |
|
Cuz I dont know whats up there |
|
Beyond the sky |
|
Its been a long |
|
Long time comin |
|
But I know a change gone come |
|
Oh yes it will |
|
I go to the movie |
|
And I go downtown |
|
But somebody keep tellin me |
|
Dont hang around |
|
Its been a long |
|
Long time comin |
|
But I know a change gone come |
|
Oh yes it will |
|
Then I go to my brother |
|
And I say brother help me please |
|
But he winds up |
|
Knockin me |
|
Back down on my knees |
|
Ohhhhhhh |
|
There have been times that I thought |
|
I couldnt last for long |
|
But I know I think |
|
Im able to carry on |
|
Its been a long |
|
A long time comin |
|
But I know a change gone come |
|
Oh yes it will |
