Well I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know
A change gon' come
And It's been too hard living
But I'm 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 know a change gon' come
Well I go down to the movie
And I go down town
But there's somebody telling me
I cannot hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come,
Oh yes it is
So I go, I go to my brother
I say, Brother, can you help me please
He just winds up, he just winds up knocking me down
Back down on, on my knees
Oh there been times when I thought
I couldn't last too long
Somehow I was able to try to carry on
And it's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come
