A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

Songwriters: Cooke, Sam

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 gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change 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

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been 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, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Idont know english, trhully. Im just a man who lives since has he born, 30 years ago, in Buenos Aires. So if you read, yo will understand that Iīnot a enlghis spokeman. Just a little bit, I learn english by my own, since the i was 14. I wish to tell, that song of Sam Cooke, i have learned alyet just today, since more years ago, I really understand it. Most tha an racism matter, it is an human matter, a espiritual fact. The Death, the sorrow, the lonelys, iniquty, are thing that all we have in a way or other. Meaning mi mindīs process the traslation to the song from the english, to Espaņol, slowly, "like the river..." inside me, something makes noise. Then the sillence, and finally tears.

it feels like the alienation of the internet disappears when people come together over this song. it is the only song, or anything, in fact, that can completely disarm me, making me remember what i don't want to, but also overwhelms me with a bittersweet contentedness at knowing i have strived but being resigned to whatever happens.

I am with you on that. Racism and religious descrimination will have to end. However, this won't be up to the people and people won't have the choice to live in peace, because they will never choose that. This choice was there ever since the world began, but never and will never choose it. There will be an outsider force, that would force them to behave like what god wanted, and end the discrimination againest each other. Do you know when will that happen?...

sam cooke meant that one day, even through all the racism that he had to live with, all of it will end and everybody, no matter what color, race religion, or whatever; will get along without discrimination.
so if you really are racist you need to rethink where you are in life. where i live black people, part of the many races that i am, are racist against white people. so i get attacked everyday because they say that my behavior is 'white'. the two major people who help me get through this are my brother and mother. my brother is half white but looks white and my mother is over one fourth white. i grew up without a father and eventually i realized that it's not the color of your skin or where your family's from or even where you go to church at, it's the content of your character and that is why i have few friends where i live. anybody with me on that?
