Change Is Gonna Come

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, long time coming But I know a change's gonna come Oh, yes it will It's been too hard to live it, but I'm afraid to die Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the skies It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change's gonna come Oh, yes it will I go to the movies and I go downtown Somebody keep telling me Don't hang around It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change's gonna come Oh, yes it will Then I go to my brother, and say Brother, help me please But he winds up knockin' me back down on my knees Oh, there were 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, long time coming But I know a change's gonna come Oh, yes it will Oh yes it will, oh yes it will Oh yes, yes, it will Oooh, yes it will Oh, oh, oh, oh yes, yes, it will Oh yes, yes it will Uhhh yes, it will Uhhh yes, it will Oh, yes it will Oh, yes it will Uuuuh, yes it will Uuuuh, yes it will Uuuuh, yes it will Mmm, yes it will
