A Change Is Gonna Come –
Sam Cooke
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 gonna
come, oh yes it will
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 gonna
come, oh 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, a long
time coming
But I know a change gonna
come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me
please
But he winds up knocking
me
Back down on my knees
Ohhhhhhhhh…..
There been times that I
thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able
to carry on
It’s been a long, a long
time coming
But I know a change gonna
come, oh yes it will
