From:
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been-a running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
A change gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard livin' 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, but I know
A change gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
A change gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother and I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me back down on my knees
Ohhhh...
There been times that 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 gonna come, oh yes it will
