A Change Is Gonna Come Songtext
von Passenger

Well 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 gon′ come

And 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 gon' come


Well I go down to the movie
And I go down town
But there′s somebody telling me
I cannot hang around

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon′ come,
Oh yes it is

So I go, I go to my brother
I say, "Brother, can you help me please"
He just winds up, he just winds up knocking me down
Back down on, on my knees

Oh there been times when I thought
I couldn't last too long
Somehow I was able to try to carry on

And it's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon′ come
