I was born by the river
in a little tent
just like the river
Ive been runnin ever since
Its been a long time coming
But I Know change gonna come, oh yes it will.
Its been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
cause i dont know whats up there
in the skye
It's been a long time coming
But I Know change gonna come
I go the movies
and I go downtown
somebody keep telling mee, dont
dont hang around
Then I go to my brother
and I say brother help me please
but he rise up knocking me back on my knees
Theres been times that I thought I would not last for long
now i think i may grow
to carrie on
Its been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh Yes it will.
