[ar:cook sam]
[00:13.886]I  was  born  by  the  river
[00:21.464]in  a  little  tent
[00:24.62]oh,and  just  like  the  river
[00:27.21]I've  been  running  ever  since
[00:32.208]It's  been  a  long
[00:36.236]A  long  time  coming
[00:38.180]But  I  know  a  change  is  gonna  come,
[00:44.825]oh,yes,it  will
[00:48.893]It's  been  too  hard  living,
[00:53.77]But  I'm  afraid  to  die
[00:59.299]Cos  I  don't  know  what's  up  there
[01:03.210]beyond  the  sky
[01:05.466]It's  been  a  long,
[01:09.606]A  long  time  coming
[01:11.740]But  I  know
[01:14.605]A  change  gonna  come,
[01:17.946]oh,yes  it  will
[01:22.492]I  go  to  the  movie
[01:26.696]And  I  go  downtown
[01:32.874]Somebody  keep  telling  me  don't  hang  around
[01:38.797]It's  been  a  long
[01:42.908]A  long  time  coming
[01:45.208]But  I  know  a  change  gonna  come
[01:51.347]oh,yes,it  will
[01:57.639]Then  I  go  to  my  brother
[02:06.61]And  I  say,"brother,help  me,please "
[02:13.532]But  he  winds  up
[02:18.553]knocking  me
[02:22.620]Back  down  on  my  knees
[02:26.424]oh!
[02:29.193]There've  been  times  that  I  thought  I  couldn't  last  for  long
[02:39.299]But  now  I  think  I'm  able  to  carry  on.
[02:45.546]It's  been  a  long
[02:49.659]A  long  time  coming
[02:51.899]But  I  know
[02:54.848]A  change  gonna  come
[02:58.206]oh,yes,it  will.
