Change Gonna Come Lyrics - A Change Is Gonna Come - Leela James

I was born by the river 

In a little tent 

And gorgeous like the river 

I've been running ever since 

It's been a long 

A long time coming 

But I, I know a change is gonna come 

Oh yes, it will 

It's been too hard living 

But I am 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, I know a change is gonna come 

Oh yes, it will

There's been times that I thought 

I wouldn't last for long, oh 

But somehow 

I think I'm able to carry on 

It's been a long 

A long time coming 

But I know, I know a change is gonna come 

Oh yes, it will 

And then I go to my mother 

"Mother, can you help me?" 

I said mother, "Could you help me please?" 

Help me, help me please, help me, oh ya 

She said, "I'd like to, I really would 

But I'm just not able" 

Then I looked around and I was right back down 

Down on my knees, oh, woah, oh

A long time coming 

But I know a, a change is gonna come 

Oh yes, it will
