Change is gonna come

Change is gonna come
I was born by the river
In a little tent
O just like the river i've been runnin ever since
its been a loooong long time comin but i know
change gonna come
o yes it will
its been tooooo hard livin but i'm afraid to diiiie
cuz i dont know whats up there beyond the sky

its been a long long time comin but i know
change gonna come wooah yes it will
i go to the movie and i go downtown
somebody keep tellin me dont hang around
its been a long loooooong time comin but i know
that change gonna come o yes it will
When i go to my brother i say brother help me please
but he winds up knockin' me. back down on my knees beggin

i couldnt last that long now i think im able to carry on.
its been a looooong loong time long time comin but i know that change gonna come o yes it will.
