I was born by the river in a little tent

And just like that river i've been running ever since

It's been a long time coming

But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living, but i'm afraid to die
Cos i don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

And then i go to see my brother
Gm dm
And i ask him to help me please
Gm dm
And he just winds up knockin' me
G c c7
Back down on my knees
There were times when i thought i couldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
