I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change 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
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh! Yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me please”
But the winds up knockin’ me
Right down on my, on the knees
And there been time that I thought
I couldn’t last for long
But Know I think
I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh! Yes it will
It’s been a long
It’s been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh! Yes it will
