(Original Key: )
I was born by the river, in a little tent,
Oh and, just like that river, I've, been running, ever since.
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
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, oh-oh-oh,
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
I go to the movie and I go downtown,
Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
It's been a long... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
Then I go to my brother,
And I say; brother, help me please.
But he winds up, knockin' me,
Back down on my knees, oh...
There been 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... a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
