A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics

A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by a river in this little old tent
Oh just like this river I've
been running ever since

It's been a long long time coming
But I know
a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
On my!

It's been too hard
living
And I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond
the clouds

It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is
gonna come
Oh yes it is
Oh my

There's a time I would go to my
brother
I asked my brother  "will you help me please?"
He
turned me down and then I ask my dear mother
I said "Mother! I'm down
on my knees" 

It's been a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't
last for very long
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry
on
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna
come
Oh yes it is

Just like I said, I went to my little bitty
brother
I asked my brother "Brother help me please?"
He turned
me down and then I go to my little mother
I said "Mother! I'm down on
my knees" 

But there was a time that I thought
Lord this
couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to
carry on
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna
come
Oh yes it will
