Bobby Womack - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river

In an old tent

Oh just like the river

I've been runnin' ever since

It's been a long long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will

It's been through hard living

And makes me afraid to die

Cause I don't know whats up there

Beyond the sky

It's been a long long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yeah

Then I go to my brother

I say brother help me please

But he's always wind up knockin' me

Back out on my knees oh

There's been times when I thought

I couldn't last so long

But now that I think i'm able

To try to carry on

It's been a long long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yes it wil
