I was born by the river in a little tent Oh, and like that river I've been running ever since It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it is
It's been too hard living and I'm affraid to die I don't know what's up there beyond the sky It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it is
I go to the movies and I go around in town Everybody there keeps telling me don't hang around It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother And I say brother, please But he just winds up, knocking me Back down on my knees
Sometimes I thought I wouldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh yes it is
