There's an old friend that
Once heard say
Something that touched
My heart
And it began, this way
I was burn by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long, long
A long time coming, but I know
Change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it will
Said I'd go to my brother
And I say: Brother, brother
Help me, please
But when I go to my brother
Doesn't he winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
There's be times when I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But somehow, I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long, long, long
A long time coming
But change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it will
There's be times when I thought
I wouldn't last for long
Well somehow, I'm able to go in
To carry on
It's been a long, long, long
A long time coming
But I know a change
Change
Is gonna come
Yeah
Yes, it will
