Intro:

    

Verse 1:

      
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
                              
 Oh, just like that river, I've, been running ever since.
                                                  
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know, oh-oo-oh,
                           
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Verse 2:

          
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
                                  
 'Cos I don't know what's out there, beyond the sky.
                                                  
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know, oh-oo-oh,
                           
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Verse 3:

  
I go to the movie and I go downtown,
                               
 Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
                                                  
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know, oh-oo-oh,
                           
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

Bridge:

                  
 Then I go to see my brother,
                       
 And I ask him to help me please.

                    
 And he just winds up;  knockin' me,
               
 Back down on my knees,	oh;

Verse 4:

           
There been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long,
                        
 But now I think I'm able, to carry on.
                   
It's been a long, a long time coming,
                                                  
It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know, oh-oo-oh,
                           
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
