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 is 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

Oh, there were times I thought I wouldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
and I know a change is gonna come, yes it will I know
A change is gonna come
I said I know change is gonna come
A change is gonna come, right now
A change is gonna come, I see it now
Believe me, I said a change is gonna come
