Lyrics A Change Is Gonna Come - The Band

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 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
Cos I don't know what′s out 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

And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he just winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times when 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

It's been too hard living, but I′m afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out 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
