A Change Is Gonna Come - The 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
