I was born by the river in a little tent |
|
And just like that river I've been running ever since |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die |
|
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky |
|
It's been a long, a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
And then I go to see my brother |
|
And I ask him to help me please |
|
And he just winds up knockin' me |
|
Back down on my knees |
|
There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long |
|
But now I think I'm able to carry on |
|
It's been a long, been a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die |
|
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky |
|
It's been a long, a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
