Lyrics A Change Is Gonna Come - Aaron Neville , The Neville Brothers

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I′ve been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It′s been too 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
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me pleaseâ€
But he winds up knockin′ me
Right down on my, on the knees
And 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
A long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It′s been a long
It's been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
