(s. cooke) |
|
I was born by the river |
|
In a little tent |
|
And just like the river |
|
I've been running ever since |
|
It's been a long, long time coming |
|
But i know a change gonna come |
|
Oh, yes it is |
|
It's been too hard living |
|
But i'm afraid to die |
|
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky |
|
It's been a long, long time coming |
|
But i know a change gonna come |
|
Oh yes it will |
|
Then i go to my brother |
|
I say brother help me please |
|
But he winds up knocking me |
|
Back down on my knees |
|
There's been times that i thought |
|
I wouldn't last for long |
|
But now i think i'm able to carry on |
|
It's been a long, long time coming |
|
But i know a change is gonna come |
|
Oh, yes it will |
