Lyrics

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 A long time coming, but I know A change gon' 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 A long time coming, a long time coming But I know A change gon' come Oh yes, it will, yes it will When I go to the movie And I go downtown Somebody keep telling me "Don't come around" It's been a long, long A long time coming, but I know A change gon' come Oh yes, it will Uh uh uh uh uh uh Then, I go to my brother And I go to my sisters too And I say, "Brother, help me, please" Won't you help me, sister please But he winds up knockin' me Down, down Back down on my knees, oh There been times that I thought That I wouldn't last for long Now, I really know I'm able To carry on It's been a long, long, long A long time coming, but I know A change gon' come
