I was born by a river

In a little town

And just like that river I've been Running

Ever since

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know

A change is gonna come

Yes it is

It's been too hard livin'

But i'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there

Beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know

A change is gonna come

Yes it is

Here I go to my brother

I say brother help me please

But if lifes up like a flame

Like a warm fire near you

There's been times when I'm bad

I could laugh too long

But now I know I may die

I just carry on

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know

A change is gonna come

Yes it will

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know

A change is gonna come

Yes it will
