I was born by a river, oh my
|
In this little old town
|
Just like this river
|
I've been running ever since
|
It's been alone
|
|
Lord, I'm coming but I know, but I know
|
That changes gotta come, now
|
Ou yes it is, my oh my oh my oh my
|
|
It's been too hard livin', oh my
|
And I'm afraid to die
|
I don't know what's up there
|
Beyond the clouds
|
It's been alone
|
|
Lord I'm coming but I know, but I know
|
That changes gotta come
|
Oh yes it is, my oh my oh my
|
|
There's a time
|
I will go to my brother, oh my
|
I would ask my brother
|
Will you help me please, oh now oh now
|
He turned me down
|
And then I asked my little mother, oh my oh
|
I said mother, I said mother
|
I'm down on my knees
|
|
It's been time that I go
|
Lord it's too late
|
Very long, oh now oh
|
|
Somehow I thought I was still able
|
To try to carry on
|
It's been alone
|
Lord I'm coming but I know
|
That changes gonna come
|
Oh yes it is
|
|
Huh, just like I said
|
I went to my little baby brother, oh my, my little brother
|
I asked my brother, brother help me please, oh now
|
He turned me down
|
And then I go to my little mother, my dear mother, oh now, huh
|
I said mother, I said mother I'm down on my knees
|
|
But there was a time that I go
|
Lord it's too late
|
So very long, oh my oh
|
Somehow I thought I was still able
|
To try to carry on
|
It's been alone
|
Lord I'm coming but I know, but I know
|
That changes gotta come, ou
|
It's been so long, It's been so long
|
A little too long
|
But changes gotta come
|
So tired, so tired of suffering
|
Standing by myself
|
Has given up a home
|
But changes gotta come
|
You know, you know that I know
|
And I know that you know
|
Honey, That a change is gonna come, oh now, oh my
|
I gotta...
