Leela James Change Gonna Come Lyrics

Change Gonna Come Lyrics

I was born by the river 

In a little tent 

and gorgeous like the
river 

I've been runnin, ever since 



It's been a long 

a long time coming 

but I, I know a change gonna come 

Ooooh yes
it will 



It's been to hard living, 

But I am 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, I know a change
gonna come 

Ooooh yes it will 



There's been times that I
thought 

I wouldn't last for long (naww)

But somehow 

I think
I'm able to carry on 



It's been a long 

a long time coming


but I know, I know a change is gonna come 

Oooh yes you will 



And then I go to my mother 

I said mother could you help me
please? 

She said: I'd like to, I really would, 

but I'm just not
able 

Then I looked around 

and I was right back down, 

down
on my knees 



There's been times that I thought 

I wouldn't
last for long 

But somehow 

I think I'm able to carry on 



It's been a long 

a long time coming 

but I know ... a
change gonna come 

Ooooh yes it will...
