a change is gonna come
I was born by the river  In a little tent And just like the river I've been running ever since  It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change gonna come Oh, yes it is   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 gonna come Oh yes it will  Then I go to my brother  I say brother help me please But he winds up knocking me  Back down on my knees  There's been times that I thought  I wouldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh, yes it will
