I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
Iżve been runninż ever since
Itżs been a long, long time cominż
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Itżs been too hard livinż
But Iżm afraid to die
I donżt know whatżs up there
Beyond the sky
Itżs been a long, a long time cominż
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebodyżs tellinż me
Donżt you hang around
Itżs been a long, long time cominż
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well
There were times that I thought
I couldnżt make it alone
But now Iżm able, Iżm able
To carry on
Itżs been a long, a long time cominż
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Lord, itżs been a long time cominż
But I know, a change is gonna come
