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
Oh, 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
Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long
Oh, 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
Oh, a long 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, yeah
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Oooh...
There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long
(Uh uh uh...)
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
Oh, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I know a change is gonna come
(Change is gonna come)
Oh, yes it will
(Change is gonna come)
I know a change
(Change is gonna come)
Oooh, change
Changeee... (Change is gonna come)
Is gonna come, know
Oh, I know a change
Change
Change (Change is gonna come)
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change (Change is gonna come)
Change
Change
Change
Change
Oh, yes it will
(Change is gonna come)
Change is gonna come, know
(Change is gonna come)
Oh, yes it will
(Change is gonna come)
Change is gonna come, know
(Change is gonna come)
Oh, yes it will
Change is gonna come, know
Mmm...
Oh, yes it will
