Leela James - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river in a little tent
And gorgeous like the river
I've been running, ever since

It's been a long a long time coming
But, I, I know a change gonna come
Owh yes it will

It's been too hard living
But, I am 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, I know a change gonna come
Owh yes it will

There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long but somehow
I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long a long time coming
But, I know, I know a change is gonna come
Owh yes you will

And then I go to my mother
I said mother could you help me please?
She said: I'd like to, I really would
But, I'm just not able then I looked around
And I was right back down down on my knees

There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long but somehow
I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long a long time coming
But, I know a change gonna come
Owh yes you will
