Lyric A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Lord, just by the river I ve been running ever since

CHORUS:
It s been a long, a long time commin
But I know, I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It s been too hard living
But I am afraid to die
Cause I don t know what s out there beyond the sky

CHORUS

There s been times that I thought
I wouldn t last for long
But somehow I think I m able to carry on

CHORUS
It s been a long, a long time commin
But I know, I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

And then I go to my mother
(Can you help me)
I said, "Mother, could you help me please?" (Help me please)
She said, "I d like to, I really would but I m just not able"
Then I looked around and I was right back down
Down on my knees

There s been times that I thought I wouldn t last for long
But somehow I think I m able to carry on

CHORUS
