I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, just like a river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes, it will
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, oh yes, it will
I go to the movie and I go down town
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, 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 then he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh
It's been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
And 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
