a change is gonna come

Lyrics

i was born by a river, in a little town, and just like that river i've been running, ever since, it's been a long, long time coming, but i know, a change is gonna come, yes it is, 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, long time coming, but i know, a change is gonna come, yes it is, here i go to my brother, i say brother help me please, but if lifes up like a flame, like a warm fire near you, there's been times when i'm bad, i could laugh too long, but now i know i may die, i just carry on, it's been a long, long time coming, but i know, a change is gonna come, yes it will, it's been a long, long time coming, but i know, a change is gonna come, yes it will
