Al Green (Feat.Booker T & The MGs) A Change is Gonna Come Lyrics

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, just like the river, I been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cuz 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 is gonna come, oh yes it will
one more thing
I go to the movie and I go downtown
I keep here and said boy, I don't want you turn
hang around now
It's been a long A long time coming but I know
halleluiah
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
let me just say this
Then I go to my brother, yes sir
And I say brother help me please
oh yes sir
But he winds up knockin'knockin'knockin' me
back down on my knee oh
Oh there's been times that I fall
I could last for long
halleluiah
But know I think I'm able, to carry on
I don't I don't It's been a long,oh yeah
A long time coming but I know, yeah
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
let me just say it one more time

Then I go to my brother
Somebody take your hands back and forth like this
Everybody, everybody
You sittin' in the first balcony too
All over the auditorium tonight
But he winds up knocking me down, my
Back down on, back down on my knee oh

I've been down but I thought I could last for long
Oh, I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able
I know, I know, I know a change gonna come
And oh yes it will
Somebody say yeah
You all back here, lemme hear ya say yeah
Somebody say oh yeah
