A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics

There`s an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I`ve been runnin` ever since

He said it`s been a long time comin`
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah

He said it`s been too hard livin`
But I`m afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky

It`s been a long, a long time comin`
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah

I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"

He said, "Good sister
I`d like to but I`m not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh

There`ve been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn`t last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I`m able, I`m able to carry on

I tell you that it`s been a long
And oh it`s been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come

Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong

Yes it`s been an uphill journey
It`s sure`s been a long way comin`, yes it has
It`s been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe

This evenin` my change is come
Yeah, I tell you that my change is come
