Song by Al Green f/ Booker T & the MG's<br /><br>

[Intro]<br>

You look good out there, baby<br>

<br>

I was born by the river in a little tent<br>

Oh, just like the river, I been running ever since<br>

It's been a long, a long time coming<br>

But I know a change is gonna come<br>

Oh, yes it will, look it here<br>

<br>

It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die<br>

Look it here<br>

Cuz I don't know what's up there beyond the sky<br>

It's been a long<br>

I wish I could come out there where you are baby<br>

A long time coming but I know<br>

Look it here<br>

A change is gonna come, oh yes it will<br>

Look it here<br>

<br>

Let me say one more thing<br>

I go to the movie and I go downtown<br>

But I don't like it here<br>

Somebody keep telling me oh boy, don't hang around<br>

It's been a long, a long<br>

If anybody know what I'm talking about<br>

Lemme see you wave your hands<br>

I know a chance gonna come, oh yes it will<br>

But I gotta take, say this here<br>

<br>

Then I go to my brother, yes sir<br>

And I tell 'em, I say brother help me please<br>

But he winds up knockin' me<br>

He knocks me back down, back down on my <br>

Oh there's been times that I fall<br>

Somebody say yeah<br>

Life could pass me on, no no<br>

I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able<br>

I'm able to carry on<br>

It's been a long, good God almighty<br>

A long time coming but I know, yeah <br>

A change is gonna come, oh yes it will<br>

Look it here, one more time<br>

<br>

Then I go to my brother<br>

Somebody take your hands back and forth like this<br>

Everybody, everybody<br>

You sittin' in the first balcony too<br>

All over the auditorium tonight<br>

But he winds up knocking me down, my<br>

Back down on, back down on my knee oh<br>

<br>

I've been down but I thought I could last<br>

Oh, I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able<br>

I know, I know, I know a change gonna come<br>

And oh yes it will<br>

Somebody say yeah<br>

You all back here, lemme hear ya say yeah<br>

Somebody say oh yeah<br>

Somebody say oh yeah<br>

Somebody say yeah<br>

Whoa, right on<br>

<br>
