A Change Is Gonna Come (with Booker T. & The MG's)
I was born by the river in a little tent Oh just like that 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 Cause 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
I go to the movie And I go downtown Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to see my brother And I say him to help me please And he just winds up knocking me Back down on my knees
There been 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
