A Change Is Gonna Come Songtext
von Playing for Change

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and just like the river I′ve been running ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon′ 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, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will


I go to the movie and I go down town
Somebody keep telling me don′t hang around

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon′ come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please."
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I′m able to carry on


It′s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
