A Change Is Gonna Come (The Voice Performance) Songtext
von Will Champlin

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I′ve been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It′s been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what′s out there beyond the sky
It′s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will


I go to the movie
And I go down town
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
Its been along time coming
But I know a change is gonna 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 were times when 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 gone come, oh yes it will
