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 gonna come...
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die cause 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 gonna come...
I go to the movie and I go downtown. Somebody keep telling me don't hang around.
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come. Oh yes it will...
Then I go to my brother and I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me back down on my knees...
There been times that I 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 gonna come.Oh yes it will...
