By The People; For The People movie - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

rate me

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

Oh and just like the river<br>

I've been running ever since<br>

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

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

<br>

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

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

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

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

<br>

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

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

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

But I know a change gonna come<br>

Oh yes it will<br>

<br>

Then I go to my brother<br>

And I say brother help me please<br>

But he winds up knockin' me<br>

Back down on my knees<br>

<br>

There been times that I thought<br>

I couldn't last for long<br>

But now I think I'm able to carry on<br>

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

But I know a change gonna come,<br>

Oh yes it will<br>

<br>
