A Change Is Gonna Come (Acoustic Version)

I was born by the river

In a little tent

OhAnd just like the river

I been a running ever since

It's been a long

A long time coming but

I know a change gon' come

OhYes it will

It's been too hard living but

I'm 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 know a change gon' come

Oh, yes it will

And I go to the movie and

I go downtown

Somebody keeps telling me, "Don't hang around"

It's been a long

A long time coming but

I know a change gon' come

OhYes it will

Then I go to my brother and

I say, I say "Brother help me please"

But he winds up knocking me back down, back down on my knees

There've been times that

I thought

I couldn't last for long

Now I think

I'm able to carry on

It's been a long

A long time coming but

I know a change gon' come

Oh, yes it will

But I know a change gon' come
