The Gits - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics
rate meI was born by the river<br />
In a little old tent<br />
And just like that river<br />
I've been running ever since<br />
It's been a long<br />
Been a long time coming<br />
But I know change is gonna come<br />
Oh yes it is<br />
<br />
It's been too hard living<br />
Oh but I'm afraid to die<br />
I don't know what's up there<br />
Beyond the clouds<br />
It's been a long<br />
It's been a long time coming<br />
But I know change is gonna come<br />
Oh yes it is<br />
<br />
There was a time<br />
When I asked my brother<br />
"And my brother," I said<br />
"Brother, brother won't you help me please"<br />
When it needs I'm down<br />
And when I asked my mother<br />
"My dear sweet mother," I said<br />
"Mama, mama I'm down<br />
On my knees"<br />
<br />
And there was a time, Lord<br />
When less I loan<br />
Lord I was able<br />
Somehow here we are<br />
It's been a long<br />
It's been a long time coming<br />
But I know change is gonna come<br />
Oh yes it is<br />
<br />
Like I said<br />
There was a time<br />
When I asked my brother<br />
"My brother," I said<br />
"Brother, brother won't you help me please"<br />
When it needs sent me down<br />
And when I asked my little mother<br />
"And my mother," I said<br />
"Mama, mama I'm down<br />
On my knees"<br />
<br />
And there was a time<br />
Oh, unless I loan<br />
Thought I was evil<br />
Somehow to carry on<br />
It's been a long<br />
It's been a long time coming<br />
But I know change is gonna come<br />
Oh yes it is<br />
<br />
There was a time<br />
When I asked my brother<br />
"My brother," I said<br />
"Brother, brother won't you help me please"<br />
When it needs sent me down<br />
And when I asked my little mother<br />
"And my mother," I said<br />
"Mama, mama I'm down<br />
On my knees"<br />
<br />
And there was a time<br />
Oh, unless I loan<br />
Thought I was evil<br />
Somehow to carry on<br />
It's been a long<br />
It's been a long time coming<br />
But I know change is gonna come<br />
Oh yes it is<br />
<br />
And I know, I know change has gotta come<br />
Yes and I know that you know that I know that you know that change has gotta come<br />
I am so tired, so tired, change has gotta come<br />
Yes a change, a change has gotta come
<br />
