Lyrics of A change is going to come

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 time coming
But i know a change is gonna come

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 time coming
But i know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie, and i go downtown
Somebody keep telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come

Then i go to my brother and i say, "brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There've been times that i've thought i couldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
