|
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 time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come |
|
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die |
|
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come |
|
I go to the movie and I go downtown |
|
Somebody keep telling me |
|
Don't hang around |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come |
|
Then I go to my brother and I say |
|
Brother, help me please |
|
But he winds up knocking me |
|
Back down on my knees |
|
There've been times |
|
That I've thought I couldn't last for long |
|
But now I think I'm able to carry on |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But I know a change is gonna come |
