I was born by the river. in a little tent
No just like that river I've. been running ever since
It's been a long. a long time coming
but I knowowwwww. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will.
It's been tooooooo 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 tiiiime. a long time coming
but I knowowwwww. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will.
And I go. to my brother (yes I do)
And say, "Brother - help me please" (well well)
But he winds up, knocking me.
I got on my knees, oahhhoooohhhhh
There's been times, that I thought
I wouldn't last too long.
. but I think I'm able
. to carry on.
It's been a long.
a long time coming, but I knowowowww.
A change gon' come.
Oh yes it will.
