I was born by the river. In a little tent. Just like the river I've 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. I don't know what's up there. Beyond the sky. It's been a long. Long long... is coming. But I know. A change is gonna come. And I go to the movies. And I go downtown. Everybody keep telling me. Do you come around. It's been a long. Oh it's been a long time coming. But I know. A change is gonna come. Then I go. Go to the my brother. And I say brother:. "Help me please". He just winds up. Knockin' me down. Back down on my knees. And there...been times that I thought. I couldn't last for long. But now I think I I I. I can't able to carry on. It's been a long long time coming. But I know. A change is gonna come. Ooh yeah. Is gonna come. Ooh yeah. Ooh oah
