A Change Is Gonna Come - Live

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh, and just like the river, I've been runnin' ever since

It's been a long (a long time comin')

A long time comin', but I know a change gon' come (change gon' come)

Oh, yes, it will

It's been too hard livin', but I'm afraid to die

'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long (a long time comin')

A long time comin', but I know a change gon' come (change gon' come)

Oh, yes, it will

I go to the movies and I go downtown

And my friends keep tellin' me, "Don't, don't hang around"

It's been a long, long, long, long (a long time comin')

But I know a change is gonna come, yes, it will

Oh, listen to me, baby

Thеn I go to my brother, oh, nah

Oh, and I say, "Brother, help mе please"

Then he winds up knockin' me back down, back down on my knees

Lord, there are times that I thought I wouldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able, oh, to carry on

It's been a long, woah (a long time comin')

But I know change (change gon' come)

Finally change
