Change Is Gonna Come Songtext / Lyric

I was born by the river in a little tent

And just like that river I've been running ever since

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will






I go to the movie

And i go down town

somebody keep telling me don't hang around

Its been along time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



Then I go to see my brother

And I say help me please

And he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees



There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gone come, oh yes it will



It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
