A Change Is Gonna Come
Lyrics
Mm
Mm
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long (long time coming)
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come (a change's 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 (long time coming)
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come (a change's gonna come)
Oh yes, it will
I go to the movies
And I go downtown
And my friends keep telling me
"Don't, don't hang around"
It's been a long (long time coming)
But I know
A change is gonna come (a change gonna come)
Yes, it will
Oh-oh, listen to me, baby
Then, I go to my brother
Then I'll go
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But then he winds up knockin' me
Back down, back down on my knees
Oh, there are times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now, I know I'm able
Oh, to carry on
It's been a long (long time coming)
But I know (ooh)
Change
(Change is gonna come)
Finally change
