Lyrics:

I Was Born By The River In A Little Tent
and Just Like The River, Ive Been Running Ever Since
its Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

its Been Too Hard Living, But Im Afraid To Die
i Dont Know Whats Up There Beyond The Sky
its Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

i Go To The Movie, And I Go Downtown
somebody Keep Telling Me dont Hang Around
its Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

then I Go To My Brother And I Say, brother, Help Me Please
but He Winds Up Knocking Me Back Down On My Knees

thereve Been Times That Ive Thought I Couldnt Last For Long
but Now I Think Im Able To Carry On
its Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come
