0:14I was born by the river
0:21In a little tent
0:24And just like the river I've been running
0:30Ever since
0:32It's been a long a long time coming
0:38But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will
0:48It's been too hard living
0:53But I'm afraid to die
0:59Cause I don't know what's up there
1:03Beyond the sky
1:05It's been a long a long time coming
1:11But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will
1:22I go to the movie
1:26And I go downtown
1:32Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
1:38It's been a long a long time coming
1:45But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will
1:57Then I go to my brother
2:06And I say brother help me please
2:14But he winds up knockin' me
2:22Back down on my knees
2:29There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
2:39But now I think I'm able to carry on
2:45It's been a long a long time coming
2:51But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will
I was born by the river In a little tent 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 is gonna come oh yes it will It's been too hard living 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 is 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 is 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 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 is gonna come oh yes it will
