A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics - More Gospel Greats - Aretha Franklin

There's an old friend 

That I once heard say 

Something that touched my heart 

And it began this way 

 

I was born by the river 

In a little tent 

And just like the river 

I've been runnin' ever since 

He said it's been a long time comin' 

But I know my change is gonna come 

Oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin' 

But I'm afraid to die 

I might not be if I knew 

What was up there beyond the sky 

It's been a long, a long time comin' 

But I know my change has got to come 

Oh yeah 

 

I went, I went to my brother 

And I asked him, "Brother 

Could you help me, please?" 

He said, "Good sister 

I'd like to but I'm not able" 

And when I, when I looked around 

I was right back down 

Down on my bended knees 

Yes I was, oh 

 

Photos 

 

There've been times that I thought 

I thought that I wouldn't last for long 

But somehow right now I believe 

That I'm able, I'm able to carry on 

I tell you that it's been along 

And oh it's been an uphill journey 

All the way 

But I know, I know, I know 

I know my change is gonna come 

Sometimes I had to cry all night long 

Yes I did 

Sometimes I had to give up right 

For what I knew was wrong 

Yes it's been an uphill journey 

It's sure's been a long way comin' 

Yes it has 

It's been real hard 

Every step of the way 

But I believe, I believe 

This evenin' my change is come 

Yeah I tell you that 

My change is come.
