I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh 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, 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 downtown
Somebody keep telling me
Don't hang around
It's been a long,
A long time coming
But I know a change gone 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

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

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 gone come, oh yes it will
