I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I?ve been runnin? ever since
It?s been a long, long time comin?
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It?s been too hard livin?
But I?m afraid to die
I don?t know what?s up there
Beyond the sky
It?s been a long, a long time comin?
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody?s tellin? me
Don?t you hang around
It?s been a long, long time comin?
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well
There were times that I thought
I couldn?t make it alone
But now I?m able, I?m able
To carry on
It?s been a long, a long time comin?
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Lord, it?s been a long time comin?
But I know, a change is gonna come
