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 I don't know what's up there Beyond the sky It's been a long, long time coming, but I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it is Then I go to see my brother I say brother, help me please But he wind up knocking me I got down on my knees There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long Now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, long time comin', but I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will Oh, yes it will Oh, yes it will I'm telling you, yes it will Don't you hear me now? Oh, yes it will Oh yes it will, yeah man Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh, oh yeah
