A Change Is Gonna Come

作曲：Sam Cooke

I was born by the river

In a little tent

And just like the river

I've been running ever since

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it is

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother

I say brother help me please

But he winds up knocking me

Back down on my knees

There's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it will
