A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent
And ohh 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 gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid
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
Yeah
I go to the movie yeah and I go go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' 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
To my brother
And I say brother
Want to help me please
Want to help me please
Want to help me please
But he winds up knockin' knockin' me
Back down
Knocking me back down on my knees
These been times
There has been time
When I thought I couldn't last for long
But now now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long  a long time coming
But I know
I know
I know
I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been a long  a long time coming
But I know
I know a change is gonna come
