A Change Is Gon' Come
I was born by the river in a little tentNo just like that river I've been running ever sinceIt's been a long a long time comingBut I know a change gon' comeOh yes it willIt's been to hard livingBut I'm afraid to dieCause I don't know what's up there, beyond the skyIt's been a long time a long time comingBut I know a change gon' comeOh yes it willI go to the movie and I go downtown Somebody keep telling me don't hang around Then I go to my brother And I go to my brother (yes I do)And say, "Brother, help me please" (well well)But he winds up, knocking meI got on my knees, ohThere's been times, that I thoughtI wouldn't last too longBut I think I'm ableTo carry onIt's been a longA long time coming, but I knowA change gon' comeOh yes it will
