I was born by the river |
|
In a little tent |
|
OhAnd just like the river |
|
I been a running ever since |
|
It's been a long |
|
A long time coming but |
|
I know a change gon' come |
|
OhYes it will |
|
It's been too 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 |
|
A long time coming but |
|
I know a change gon' come |
|
Oh, yes it will |
|
And I go to the movie and |
|
I go downtown |
|
Somebody keeps telling me, "Don't hang around" |
|
It's been a long |
|
A long time coming but |
|
I know a change gon' come |
|
OhYes it will |
|
Then I go to my brother and |
|
I say, I say "Brother help me please" |
|
But he winds up knocking me back down, back down on my knees |
|
There've been times that |
|
I thought |
|
I couldn't last for long |
|
Now I think |
|
I'm able to carry on |
|
It's been a long |
|
A long time coming but |
|
I know a change gon' come |
|
Oh, yes it will |
|
But I know a change gon' come |
