I was born by the river
In a little tent
O just like the river I've been running ever since
it's been a long long time coming but I know
change gonna come o yes it will
it's been too hard living but i'm afraid to die
cuz i don't know what's up there beyond the sky
it's been a long long time coming but i know
change gonna come wooah yes it will
i go to the movie and i go downtown
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
it's been a long long time coming but i know
that change gonna come o yes it will
When i go to my brother i say brother help me please
but he winds up knockin' me. back down on my knees begging please!
that has been times i thought i couldn't last that long
now i think i'm able to carry on.
it's been a long long time long time coming but i know
that change gonna come o yes it will.
