Lyrics of A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke
verse
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I've been running
Ever since
chorus
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
verse
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
chorus
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
verse
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
And somebody keep telling me
"Don't hang around"
chorus
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
verse
Then, I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh
verse
There been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on
chorus
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
Writer(s): Sam Cooke
