A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh and like that river Ive been running ever since

Its been a long long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

Its been too hard living and Im affraid to die

I dont know whats up there beyond the sky

Its been a long long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Yeah yes

And then I went to see my brother oh yeah

I said 'Brother help me please' he turned me down

And then I went I went to see my sweet mother

I said 'Mama mama Im down on my knees'

Its been a too hard living and Im afraid to die

I dont know whats up there beyond the sky

Its been a long long time a coming

But I know but I know a change gonna come oh long
