A Change Is Gonna Come (Live|1998 Hammerstein Ballroom) - Patti Labelle

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 time coming

But I know a change gon' come

Oh yeah

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there

Beyond the sky

It's been a long long time coming

But I know a change gon' come

Oh yeah

And I go to the movie

And I go down town

A good friend keep telling me

Patti Labelle

Don't hang around

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change gon' come

Oh yeah

Oh

Then I go to my brother

I say "Brother help me please "

But he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees

But times when I thought

I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able

I think i'm

To carry on

It's been a long time

It's been a long time coming

But I know

I know i know change gon' come

Oh yes

Oh yeah

Oh yes it will
