(no subject)
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that 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
'Causes 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 keeps 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
And then I go to see my brother
And I say "Brother, help me please..."
But he just 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, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
