A Change Is Gonna Come (Live)

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 is gonna come

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 time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie and I go downtown

Somebody keep telling me Don't hang around

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

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 time coming

But I know a change is gonna come
