I was born by the river in this little old 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
Oh yes it is
It's been too hard living
But I don't wanna die
Cos I don't know
What's out there beyond the clouds
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
And then I go to told my brother
And I said brother can you help me
But he winds up knockin' me
I got down on my knees
There's been a time that i felt
That i cuouldn't get along
But now I know
I'm still able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
And then I go to told my brother
And I said brother can you help me
But he winds up knockin' me
I got down on my knees
And then I go to told my brother
And I said brother can you help me
There's been a time that
I felt that i cuouldn't get along
But now I know I'm still able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it is
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come
It's been a long time coming
But I don't wanna die
But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it is
Change is gonna come
