Seal - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river, in a little tent
And oh, just 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 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, long time coming
But I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Now I go to the movies, and I go downtown
But somebody keeps telling me
Don't hang around

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Yes, sir

So now I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But somehow, he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there were times I thought
I wouldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able, able to carry on

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know
A change is gonna come, yes it will, oh
I know a change is gonna come i said I know

A change is gonna come, hey yeah
A change is gonna come, right now
A change is gonna come, I see
It now, yeah, oh my, yeah
I said a change is gonna come
