| I was born by the river
|
| In a little tent
|
| Just like the river
|
| I’ve been runnin ever since
|
| It’s been a long time coming
|
| But I Know change gonna come, oh yes it will.
|
| It’s been too hard living
|
| But I’m afraid to die
|
| Cause I don’t know what’s up there
|
| In the sky
|
| It’s been a long time coming
|
| But I Know change gonna come
|
| I go the movies
|
| And I go downtown
|
| Somebody keep telling mee, don’t
|
| Don’t hang around
|
| Then I go to my brother
|
| And I say brother help me please
|
| But he rise up knocking me back on my knees
|
| There’s been times that I thought I would not last for long
|
| Now I think I may grow
|
| To carrie on
|
| Its been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh
|
| Yes it will. |
