A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

[Verse]

I was born by the river

In a little tent

And just like river, baby

I've been running ever since

[Chorus]

It's been a long

Long time coming

And I know

Change is gonna come

[Verse 2]

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die

Cause I don't know what's up there, baby

Beyond the sky

[Chorus]

It's been a long

Long time coming

And I know

Change is gonna come

[Verse 3]

Well, I go down to my brother

And I say

Brother, help me breathe

But he winds up

Knocking me back down

On my knees, yeah

Yeah!

[Verse 4]

There'd been times where I thought I

Couldn't last for long

Now I think I'm able

To carry on

[Chorus]

It's been a long

Long time coming

And I know

Change is gonna come
