Select language to translate this lyric
I was born by the river,
in a little tent
And oh, just like that river
I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know
a change goin' come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard livin'
but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there,
beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know
a change goin' come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movies
and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me
Don't hang around
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know
a change goin' come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother, yeah
And I say brother,
can you help me please?
But he winds up
knocking me
back down, on my knees, oh
There were times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
Now I know I'm able
to carry on
It's been a long, long time comin'
But I know
change goin' come
Oh, yes it will
Yes it will, yeah
Yes it will, yes it will
Oh, yes it will
Yes it will
