A Change Is Gonna Come Songtext
von Solomon Burke

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I′ve been running ever since

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

It′s been too hard living
And I don't wanne to die
I don't know what′s up there, beyond the skies


But it′s been a long, long time coming
But people let me tell you a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is, oh yes It is, oh yes it is

Then I go to my brothers
I say brothers, help me please
But my brothers they wind up knocking me
Right down, down on my knees

There was times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
Now I know I′m able to carry on
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time coming
But people let me tell you a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it is, oh yes it is, oh yes it is

There′s been love, there's been tears, there′s been joy, there's been sorrow
Sometimes I thought I'd never be here tomorrow
