A Change Is Gonna Come
(Sam Cooke 1964)
.
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
.
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's 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: Don't hang around
It's 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
.
There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
