I was 1 born 2 by the river, in a little tent 3.

Ohh just like the river I been running 4 every since 5.

Its been a long, a long time coming,

but I know a change gonna come.

Its been too hard living 7 but I'm afraid to die 8,

cause 9 I dont know what's up there beyond 10 the sky.

Its been a long, a long time coming

but I know a change gonna come. oh yes it will.

I go to the movie, and I go down town.

Somebody 11 keeps telling me don't hang 6 around.

Its been a long, a long time coming,

but I know a change gonna come.

ohh yes it will.

Then I go, go to my brother,

I say brother help me please.

But he winds up knocking 12 me down

on my knees.

Ohhh

There were time

that I thought 13 I couldnt last for long,

but I think now im able 14 to carry on.

Its been a long, a long time coming

but I know a change gonna come.

ohh yes it will.
