A Change Is Gonna Come Song Lyrics by Sam Cooke
I was born by the riverIn a little tentOh, and just like the river, I’ve been runningEver since
It’s been a longA long time coming, but I knowA change gon’ comeOh yes, it will
It’s been too hard livingBut I’m afraid to die‘Cause I don’t know what’s up thereBeyond the sky
It’s been a longA long time coming, but I knowA change gon’ comeOh yes, it will
I go to the movieAnd I go downtownAnd somebody keep telling me“Don’t hang around”
It’s been a longA long time coming, but I knowA change gon’ comeOh yes, it will
Then, I go to my brotherAnd I say, “Brother, help me, please”But he winds up knockin’ meBack down on my knees, oh
There been times that I thoughtI couldn’t last for longBut now, I think I’m ableTo carry on
It’s been a longA long time coming, but I knowA change gon’ comeOh yes, it will
