I was born by a river in a little tent,
|
And just like this river,
|
I've been running ever since.
|
It's been a too long, too long-time a-coming,
|
But I know a change gonna come,
|
Oh, yes, it is.
|
|
It's been too hard living,
|
And I'm afraid to die.
|
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
|
It's been a long time a, long time a-coming,
|
But I know, Lord I know a change gonna come, Lord.
|
Yeah, yes.
|
|
And then I went to see my brother, oh yeah.
|
I said, "Brother, help me, please."
|
He turned me down.
|
And then I went, I went to see my sweet mother.
|
I said, "Mama, Mama I'm down on my knees."
|
It's been a too hard living,
|
And I'm afraid to die.
|
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
|
It's been a long, long time a-coming,
|
But I know, but I know a change gonna come.
|
Oh, long.
