A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river in a little tent
And 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 gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard livin but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there on the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Now 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

So then I go to my brother
And I said brother help me please
But some how he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able, able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come,
Yes it will

I KNOW!
A change gonna come
I said I know
A change is gonna come
Hey!
Hey!
A change is gonna come
Right now
Oh oh!
A change is gonna
A change is gonna come
I see it now
Hey!
I said a change
Is gonna come
