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 |
|
'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, oh yes it will |
|
Now I go to the movies, and I go downtown |
|
But somebody keeps telling me don't hang around |
|
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know |
|
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
Yes, sir |
|
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 were times 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 is gonna come, yes it will, oh, I know |
|
A change is gonna come |
|
I said I know |
|
A change is gonna come, hey, yeah |
|
A change is gonna come, right now |
|
A change is gonna come, I see it now, yeah, oh my, yeah |
|
I said a change is gonna come |
