A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics

[Intro]

 You look good out there, baby

 

 I was born by the river in a little tent

 Oh, just like the river, I 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, look it here

 

 It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die

 Look it here

 Cuz I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

 It's been a long

 I wish I could come out there where you are baby

 A long time coming but I know

 Look it here

 A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

 Look it here

 

 Let me say one more thing

 I go to the movie and I go downtown

 But I don't like it here

 Somebody keep telling me oh boy, don't hang around

 It's been a long, a long

 If anybody know what I'm talking about

 Lemme see you wave your hands

 I know a chance gonna come, oh yes it will

 But I gotta take, say this here

 

 Then I go to my brother, yes sir

 And I tell 'em, I say brother help me please

 But he winds up knockin' me

 He knocks me back down, back down on my 

 Oh there's been times that I fall

 Somebody say yeah

 Life could pass me on, no no

 I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able

 I'm able to carry on

 It's been a long, good God almighty

 A long time coming but I know, yeah 

 A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

 Look it here, one more time

 

 Then I go to my brother

 Somebody take your hands back and forth like this

 Everybody, everybody

 You sittin' in the first balcony too

 All over the auditorium tonight

 But he winds up knocking me down, my

 Back down on, back down on my knee oh

 

 I've been down but I thought I could last

 Oh, I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able

 I know, I know, I know a change gonna come

 And oh yes it will

 Somebody say yeah

 You all back here, lemme hear ya say yeah

 Somebody say oh yeah

 Somebody say oh yeah

 Somebody say yeah

 Whoa, right on
