"A Change Is Gonna Come" Written by Sam Cooke 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 Its 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 when 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 | More Information About Sam Cooke |
