A Change Is Gonna Come

A Change Is Gonna Come - Chuck Jackson

Written by：Sam Cooke

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 is gonna come

Oh yes by the way

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die

But 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 is gonna come

Oh yes by the way

Then I go to my brother and I say brother help me please

But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes by the way
