A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river In a little tent Just like the river Ive been running Running ever since Its been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it will Its been too hard living But im afraid to die Cause I dont know if something Is beyond the sky Its been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it will Then I come to the movie And I go downtown Somebody keeps telling me dont hang around Its been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it will Then I got to my brother And I say brother help me please But he winds up knocking me Back down on my knees There were times when I though I couldnt last for long I know I need to carry on Its been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it will
