Change Is Gon' Come

                                  I was born by the river in a little tent

No just like that river I've been running ever since

It's been a long a long time coming

But I know a change gon' come

Oh yes it will

It's been to 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 time a long time coming

But I know a change gon' come

Oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown 

Somebody keep telling me don't hang around 

Then I go to my brother 

And I go to my brother (yes I do)

And say, "Brother, help me please" (well well)

But he winds up, knocking me

I got on my knees, oh

There's been times, that I thought

I wouldn't last too long

But I think I'm able

To carry on

It's been a long

A long time coming, but I know

A change gon' come

Oh yes it will
