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 time, long time coming
And I know a change gonna come, oh yes, it will
It's been too hard living, and I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky
Ooh, it's been a long, long time coming
And I know a change gonna come, oh yes, it will, ooh
Then I go to my brother, ayy
And I say brother help me please
Oh, even he winds up knockin' me, yeah
Knockin' me, oh, knockin' me down to my knees, oh
There were times, times when I thought I wouldn't last for long
Now I know, I'm able, able, able to carry on
Ooh, it's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change gonna come, oh yes, it will (oh yes, it will)
A change gonna come (oh yes, it will)
I believe it with all my heart that it (it will)
Gonna get harder (oh yes, it will)
Oh, gonna (oh yes, it will)
A change gonna come (oh yes, it will)
A change
And I know a change gonna come
