 [Lyrics]
 I was born by the river in a little tent
 Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since
 
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
 
 It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
 'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
 
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
 
 I go to the movie and I go down town
 Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
 
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change gon' 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 been times that 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 gon' come, oh yes it will
