A Change Is Gonna Come Songtext
von Graham Parker

I was born by a river
In a little tent, and o
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

It′s been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die,
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


There was a time I would go to my brother,
I say brother, say brother, help me please
He turned me down and then I go to my mother (oh my mother)
I say: Mother I'm down on my knees

There was a time that I thought
I couldn′t last too long
But somehow I was able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it is,

It′s been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it is,

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it is.
