Al Green - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

(Feat. Booker T & The MG's)

[Intro]

You look good out there, baby

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh, just like the river, I been running ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it will, look it here

It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die

Look it here

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

It's been a long

I wish I could come out there where you are baby

A long time coming but I know

Look it here

A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Look it here

Let me say one more thing

I go to the movie and I go downtown

But I don't like it here

Somebody keep telling me oh boy, don't hang around

It's been a long, a long

If anybody know what I'm talking about

Lemme see you wave your hands

I know a chance gonna come, oh yes it will

But I gotta take, say this here

Then I go to my brother, yes sir

And I tell 'em, I say brother help me please

But he winds up knockin' me

He knocks me back down, back down on my

Oh there's been times that I fall

Somebody say yeah

Life could pass me on, no no

I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able

I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, good God almighty

A long time coming but I know, yeah

A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Look it here, one more time

Then I go to my brother

Somebody take your hands back and forth like this

Everybody, everybody

You sittin' in the first balcony too

All over the auditorium tonight

But he winds up knocking me down, my

Back down on, back down on my knee oh

I've been down but I thought I could last

Oh, I know I'm able, I'm able, I'm able

I know, I know, I know a change gonna come

And oh yes it will

Somebody say yeah

You all back here, lemme hear ya say yeah

Somebody say oh yeah

Somebody say oh yeah

Somebody say yeah

Whoa, right on
