Lyric A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I ve been runnin ever since
It s been a long, long time comin
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It s been too hard livin
But I m afraid to die
I don t know what s up there
Beyond the sky
It s been a long, a long time comin
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will


I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody s tellin me
Don t you hang around
It s been a long, long time comin
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will


Then I go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well


There were times that I thought
I couldn t make it alone
But now I m able, I m able
To carry on
It s been a long, a long time comin
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Lord, it s been a long time comin
But I know, a change is gonna come
