A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics - Singles - Nylons

I was born by the river in a little tent 

And just like the river 

I've been runnin' ever since 

It's been a long, long time comin' 

But I know, a change is gonna come 

Oh, yes, it will 

It's been too hard livin' but I'm afraid to die 

I don't know what's up there 

Beyond the sky 

It's been a long, a long time comin' 

But I know, a change is gonna come 

Oh, yes it will 

I go to the movie and I go downtown 

Somebody's tellin' me 

Don't you hang around 

It's been a long, long time comin' 

But I know, a change is gonna come 

Oh, yes, it will 

Then I go to my brother 

I say, "Brother, Brother, help me please" 

But he just winds up knocking me 

Back down on my knees, well 

There were times that I thought 

I couldn't make it alone 

But now I'm able, I'm able to carry on 

It's been a long, a long time comin' 

But I know, a change is gonna come 

Oh, yes, it will 

Lord, it's been a long time comin' 

But I know, a change is gonna come
