Lyrics:

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 Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

it's Been Too Hard Living, But I'm Afraid To Die
i Don't Know What's Up There Beyond The Sky
it's Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

i Go To The Movie, And I Go Downtown
somebody Keep Telling Me 'don't Hang Around'
it's Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come

then I Go To My Brother And I Say, 'brother, Help Me Please'
but He Winds Up Knocking Me Back Down On My Knees

there've Been Times That I've Thought I Couldn't Last For Long
but Now I Think I'm Able To Carry On
it's Been A Long Time Coming
but I Know A Change Is Gonna Come
