Change is Gonna Come

Lyrics

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 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 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 downtown Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around" It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will Then I go to see my brother And I say "Help me please" But he winds up knockin' me Like I'm back down on my knees Please, yeah 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, a long time coming But I know, yeah, mmm, a change gone come, oh yes it will
