Lyric A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I ve been running ever since
It s been a 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 out there beyond the sky
It s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he just winds up knockin me
Back down on my knees

There were times when I thought I couldn t last for long
But now I think I m able to carry on
It s been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
