Lyrics:

I Was Born By The River, In A Little Tent
and Oh, Just Like That 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 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, Long Time Coming, But I Know
a Change Is Gonna Come, Oh Yes It Will

now I Go To The Movies, And I Go Downtown
but Somebody Keeps Telling Me Don't Hang Around
it's Been A Long, Long Time Coming, But I Know
a Change Is Gonna Come, Oh Yes It Will
yes, Sir

so Now I Go To My Brother
and I Say, 'brother, Help Me, Please'
but Somehow, He Winds Up Knocking Me
back Down On My Knees

oh, There Were Times I Thought I Wouldn't Last For Long
now I Think I'm Able, Able To Carry On
it's Been A Long, Long Time Coming, But I Know
a Change Is Gonna Come, Yes It Will, Oh, I Know
a Change Is Gonna Come
i Said I Know

a Change Is Gonna Come, Hey, Yeah
a Change Is Gonna Come, Right Now
a Change Is Gonna Come, I See It Now, Yeah, Oh My, Yeah

i Said A Change Is Gonna Come
