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
|
|
I go to the movie
|
And I go down town
|
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
|
Its been along 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 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, a long time coming
|
But I know a change gone come, oh yes it will
|
