A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics - Graham Parker

I was born by a river 

In a little tent, and o 

just like this river 

I've been running ever since 

It's been a long long time coming, but I know 

A change is gonna come, oh yes it is 

It's been too hard living 

but I'm afraid to die, 

I don't know what's up there 

beyond the clouds,

It's been a long, long time coming, but I know 

A change is gonna come, oh yes it is 

There was a time I would go to my brother, 

I say brother, say brother, help me please 

he turned me down and then I go to my mother (oh my mother) 

I say: Mother I'm down on my knees 

There was a time that I thought 

I couldn't last too long 

But somehow I was able to carry on 

It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know 

A change is gonna come, oh yes it is,

It's been a long time coming, but I know 

A change is gonna come, oh yes it is, 

It's been a long time coming, but I know 

A change is gonna come, oh yes it is.
