A Change Is Gonna Come (Live in PDX)

A Change Is Gonna Come (Live in PDX) - The Gits

I was born by the river

In a little old tent

And just like that river

I've been running ever since

It's been a long

Been a long time coming

But I know change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living

Oh but I'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there

Beyond the clouds

It's been a long

It's been a long time coming

But I know change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

There was a time

When I asked my brother

"And my brother " I said

"Brother brother won't you help me please"

When it needs I'm down

And when I asked my mother

"My dear sweet mother " I said

"Mama mama I'm down

On my knees"

And there was a time Lord

When less I loan

Lord I was able

Somehow here we are

It's been a long

It's been a long time coming

But I know change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

Like I said

There was a time

When I asked my brother

"My brother " I said

"Brother brother won't you help me please"

When it needs sent me down

And when I asked my little mother

"And my mother " I said

"Mama mama I'm down

On my knees"

And there was a time

Oh unless I loan

Thought I was evil

Somehow to carry on

It's been a long

It's been a long time coming

But I know change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

There was a time

When I asked my brother

"My brother " I said

"Brother brother won't you help me please"

When it needs sent me down

And when I asked my little mother

"And my mother " I said

"Mama mama I'm down

On my knees"

And there was a time

Oh unless I loan

Thought I was evil

Somehow to carry on

It's been a long

It's been a long time coming

But I know change is gonna come

Oh yes it is

And I know I know change has gotta come

Yes and I know that you know that

I know that you know that change has gotta come

I am so tired so tired a change has gotta come

Yes a change a change has gotta come
