The Band - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like this 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
Cos I don't know what's out
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

And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he just winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There were times when I thought
I couldn't last for long


But now I think I'm 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

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out
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
