A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent And Oh just like that 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 Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky It's been a long long time coming But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will now 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 so now I gone to my brother And I say brother help me please somehow winds up knockin' me Back down on my knees There been times I thought I wouldn't last for long now I think I'm able able to carry on It's been a long long time coming But I know a change is gonna come yes it will change is gonna come I said I know change is gonna come change is gonna come But I know a change is gonna come I said a change is gonna come
