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
