Read the lyric of the song entitled “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke.
A Change is Gonna Come
Sung by Sam Cooke
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, just like a river, I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know a change’s gonna come, oh yes, it will
It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die
“Cause I don’t know what’s up there above the sky
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change’s gonna come, oh, yes, it will
And I go to the movies, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, don’t hang around
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change’s gonna come, oh, yes, it will
Oh, when I go to my brother
I’d say brother, help me, please
But he winds up knockin’ me
Back down on my knees
There been times that I thought I wouldn’t last for long
Now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change’s gonna come, oh, yes, it will
