Lyrics A Change Is Gonna Come - Terence Trent D’Arby
I
was
born
by
the
river
in
a
little
old
tent
And
just
like
the
river
I′ve
been
running
ever
since
It's
been
a
long,
long
time
coming
But
I
know
a
change
is
gonna
come
It′s
been
too
hard
living
but
I'm
afraid
to
die
Cause
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
Then
I
go
to
my
brother
And
I
say,
"Brother,
help
me
please"
But
when
I
go
to
my
brother
He
winds
up
knocking
me
Back
down
on
my
knees
There
been
times
when
I
thought
I
wouldn't
last
for
long
But
somehow
I
think
I′m
gonna
be
able
to
carry
on
It's
been
a
long,
a
long
time
coming
But
I
know
a
change
is
gonna
come,
oh
yes,
it
will
Then
I
go
to
my
brother
And
I
say,
"Brother,
help
me
please"
But
when
I
go
to
my
dear
old
brother
He
winds
up
knocking,
he
winds
up
knock
Knock,
knocking
me
back
down
on
my
knees
There′s
been
times
when
I
thought
I
wouldn't
last
for
long
And
now
I
think
I′m
gonna
be
able
to
pick
myself
up
and
carry
on
It's
been
a
long,
a
long
time
coming
But
I
know
a
change
is
gonna
come
Somehow
I
know
a
change
is
gonna
come
I,
I
know,
I
know
a
change
is
gonna
come
I,
I
know
that
a
change,
a
change,
a
change
is
gonna
come
