I was born by the river
In a little tent
And gorgeous like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I, I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard living
But I am 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, I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long, oh
But somehow
I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know, I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
And then I go to my mother
Mother, can you help me?
I said mother, Could you help me please?
Help me, help me please, help me, oh ya
She said, Id like to, I really would
But Im just not able
Then I looked around and I was right back down
Down on my knees, oh, woah, oh
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But somehow
I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a, a change is gonna come
Oh yes, it will
