I was born by the river |
|
In a little tent, and o |
|
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 ' |
|
Cause I don't know what's up there |
|
Beyond the sky |
|
It's been a long time coming, but |
|
I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
I go to the movie and |
|
I go downtown |
|
Somebody keep tellin me |
|
Don't hang around |
|
It's been a long time coming, but |
|
I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
|
Then I go to my brother |
|
And I say brother help me please |
|
But he wind up (knocking) me |
|
Back down on my knees |
|
There have been times that |
|
I thought |
|
I couldn't last for long |
|
But now I think |
|
I'm able to carry on |
|
It's been a long time, but |
|
I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will |
