A Change Is Gonna Come (Live Eerst Jaap! - Radio 6 Soul & Jazz)
I was born by the river in a little old tent
And oh just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time, it's been a long time coming
But I know change is gonna come, oh yes it is

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 time, it's been a long time coming
But I know change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go down to my brother's
And I say, "Brother, can you help me, please?"
Then I go down to my mother's
But she knocks me down right down on my knees
There were times when I thought I couldn't last for too long
But now I see I'm still able to carry on
It's been a long time, it's been a long time coming
But a change is gonna come
