ARETHA FRANKLIN - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics
rate me(Lyrics by Sam Cooke)<br />
<br />
There's an old friend<br />
That I once heard say<br />
Something that touched my heart<br />
And it began this way<br />
<br />
I was born by the river<br />
In a little tent<br />
And just like the river<br />
I've been runnin' ever since<br />
He said it's been a long time comin'<br />
But I know my change is gonna come<br />
Oh yeah<br />
<br />
He said it's been too hard livin'<br />
But I'm afraid to die<br />
I might not be if I knew<br />
What was up there beyond the sky<br />
It's been a long, a long time comin'<br />
But I know my change has got to come<br />
Oh yeah<br />
<br />
I went, I went to my brother<br />
And I asked him, "Brother<br />
Could you help me, please?"<br />
He said, "Good sister<br />
I'd like to but I'm not able"<br />
And when I, when I looked around<br />
I was right back down<br />
Down on my bended knees<br />
Yes I was, oh<br />
<br />
There've been times that I thought<br />
I thought that I wouldn't last for long<br />
But somehow right now I believe<br />
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on<br />
I tell you that it's been along<br />
And oh it's been an uphill journey<br />
All the way<br />
But I know, I know, I know<br />
I know my change is gonna come<br />
Sometimes I had to cry all night long<br />
Yes I did<br />
Sometimes I had to give up right<br />
For what I knew was wrong<br />
Yes it's been an uphill journey<br />
It's sure's been a long way comin'<br />
Yes it has<br />
It's been real hard<br />
Every step of the way<br />
But I believe, I believe<br />
This evenin' my change is come<br />
Yeah I tell you that<br />
My change is come..
