A Change is Gonna Come (Version for Voice, Solo Violin and Piano)

I was born by the river in a little tent

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

But somebody keep telling me

Don't hang around

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yes, it will

Then I go, I go to my brother

And I said, "Brother, would you help me please?"

But he winds up knocking me

Back down on my knees

There've been times when 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, long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yes, it will

A change gonna come

Oh yes, it will
