Long Time Coming Lyrics

I was born by the river
in a little tent
just like the river
Ive been runnin ever since
Its been a long time coming
But i Know change gonna come, oh yes it will.

Its been too hard living
but im afraid to die
cause i dont know whats up there
in the skye
Its been a long time coming
But i Know change gonna come

I go the movies
and I go downtown
somebody keep telling mee, dont
dont hang around
Then I go to my brother
and i say brother help me please
but he rise up knocking me back on my knees
Theres been times that I thought I would not last for long
now i think i may grow
to carrie on

Its been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh Yes it will.
