Johnny Keyser A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

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, long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come

It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
‘Cause I dont know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

When I go to my brother
I say, “brother help me please”
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

Please!

There been times I've thought
That I couldn't last
It's been a long
Now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been a long, long time
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
