Lyrics
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, just like a river, I'm runnin'
Ever since
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes, it will
It's been too hard to live in
But I'm afraid to die, oh, yeah, yeah
'Cause I don't know what's up there (I don't know)
Beyond the sky
It's been a long (It's been a long)
A long time comin' (coming), but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes, it will
Listen
I go through the movie
And I go down, go downtown
They keep tellin' me, "Boy, don't you hang around"
It's been a long (It's been a long)
A long time comin' (a long time comin'), but I know
A change gon' come, c'mon
Oh, my good brother wanna cry now
There were times that I thought
I wouldn't last, last for long (ooh)
But now I think I'm able to carry on (carry on)
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
