A Change Is Gonna Come - Mono; 2008 Remaster

I was born by the river in a little old tent
 Oh just like this river I've been running ever since
 It's been a long long time coming
 But I know a change is gonna come
 Oh yes it is
 On my!
 It's been too hard living
 And I'm afraid to die
 'Cause I don't know what's up there
 Beyond the clouds
 It's been a long long time coming
 But I know a change is gonna come
 Oh yes it is
 Oh my
 
 There's a time I would go to my brother
 I asked my brother "will you help me please?"
 ♪
 He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother
 ♪
 I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"
 It's been a time that I thought
 Lord this couldn't last for very long
 But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
 It's been a long long time coming
 But I know a change is gonna come
 Oh yes it is
 Just like I said, I went to my little bitty brother
 
 I asked my brother "Brother help me please?"
 He turned me down and then I go to my little mother
 I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"
 But there was a time that I thought
 Lord this couldn't last for very long
 But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
 It's been a long long time coming
 But I know a change is gonna come
 ♪
 Oh yes it will
