A Change Is Gonna Come Songtext
von The Nylons

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I′ve been runnin' ever since
It′s been a long, long time comin'
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard livin′
But I′m afraid to die
I don't know what′s up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin′
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will


I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody's tellin′ me
Don't you hang around
It's been a long, long time comin′
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

Then I go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well

There were times that I thought
I couldn′t make it alone
But now I'm able, 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
Lord, it's been a long time comin′
But I know, a change is gonna come
