Lyrics A Change Is Gonna Come - Warren Haynes Band

A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent, and o Just like that river
I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long time coming, but I know
A change is 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
Beyond the sky
It’s been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me Don’t hang around
It’s been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he wind up (knocking) me Back down on my knees
There have been times that I thought
I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on It’s been a long time, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
