I was born by a river in a little old tent
And just like the river I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long
It’s been a long time coming but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
It’s been too hard living but I’m afraid to die
I don’t know what’s up there
Beyond the clouds
It’s been a long
It’s been a long time coming but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
There was a time when I ask my brother
My brother I said brother brother won’t you help me please
When he turned me down when I ask my mother
My dear sweet mother I said momma momma I am down on my knees
There was a time I thought lord this wouldn’t last that long
Lord I was able somehow to carry on
It’s been a long it’s been a long time coming but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Like I said there was a time when I ask my brother
My brother I said brother brother won’t you help me please
When he turned me down when I ask my little mother
My mother I said momma momma I am down on my knees
There was a time I thought lord this wouldn’t last that long
Lord I was able somehow to carry on
It’s been a long it’s been a long time coming but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
There was a time when I ask my brother
My brother I said brother brother won’t you help me please
When he turned me down when I ask my mother
My mother I said momma momma I am down on my knees
There was a time I thought lord this wouldn’t last that long
Lord I was able somehow to carry on
It’s been a long it’s been a long time coming but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
And I know I know a change has gotta come
Yes and I know that you know that I know that you know that
A change has gotta come
And I’m so tired so tired a change has gotta come
Yes a change a change has gotta come
