A Change is Gonna Come
(James & Bobby Purify)

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh 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


Then I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don′t hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, I know it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin′ me
Back down on my, my knees

Oh there been times that 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...
