A Change Is Gonna Come (Album Version)

I was born by a river in this little old tent
Oh just like this river I've been running ever since
It's been a long  long time coming
But I know  but I know a change is gotta come
Oh yes it is
On my
It's been too hard living  oh my
And I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the clouds
It's been a long long time coming
But I know  but I know a change is gotta come
Oh yes it is
On my
There was a time I would go to my brother
I asked my brother  "Will you help me please "
He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother  oh
I said "Mother "
I said "Mother  I'm down on my knees"
It's been a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought
I was still able to try to carry on
It's been a long  long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh  yes it is
Just like I said  I went to my little bitty brother
My littele brother
I asked my brother "Brother help me please "
He turned me down and
Then I go to my little mother  my dear mother
I said "Mother "
I said "Mother  I'm down on my knees"
But there was a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought
I was still able to try to carry on
It's been a long  long time coming
But I know  but I know a change is gotta come
Oh It's been a long
It's been a long
A little too long
A change is gotta come
So tired
So tired of standing by myself
It's been a long long time coming
You know that I know
You know that I know
I know that You knowthat a change is gotta come
