Bilingual
I was born by the river in a little tent
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
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, a long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
There I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother help me please"
But when I go to my brother
He winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There's been times when I thought, I wouldn't last for long
But somehow I think I'm gonna be able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
There I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother help me please"
But when I go to my dear old brother
He winds up knock, knock, knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There've been times when I thought, I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm gonna be able, pick myself up and carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come
Somehow I know, a change is gonna come
I-I know, I know a change is gonna come
I-I-I, I know that a change, a change, a change
A change is gonna come
