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 afraid to die
'Cause 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
I go to the movies
And I go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me, "Don't, don't hang around"
It's been a long, 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 just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Ooh, sometimes I thought I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to, to carry on
But it's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it is
Ooh, yes, it is
I know it will
Ooh, I know change is gonna come, ooh
Ooh, change is gonna come
Yeah, I know it will
Ooh, it will
Change gonna come
I know my change gonna come
