I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gon' come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know a change gon' come
Oh yes it will
And then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, brother won't you help me please?"
But it winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
And oh, there's been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, I said, a long time comin'
But I know a change gon' come
Oh yes it will
