Sam Cooke
Change Gonna Come
I was born by the river
In a little town
Just like the river had been
I've been running ever since

[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh, Yes it will

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
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 gonna come
Oh, Yes it will

You see
And when I go to my Brother
I said "Brother, help me please"
My Brother wound up knocking me
Back down on my knees
Ohhhhhh

There been times
When I thought I won't last too long
But now I see that I'm able to carry on

[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh, Yes it will
