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 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
Cause 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
I go to the movies, and I go downtown,
Somebody keep telling don't hang around,
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
And I ask him to help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There've been times 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 a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
END!!!
Fun Fact-
The Piano used to play this song, (footage by crackerfarm) was played in such
albums such as "Country Was" and "A Carolina Jubilee". It was then auctioned
off to raise money for a women's shelter, the proceeds benefiting battered
women. Seth also recently donated his own hair to "Wigs for Kids" an
organization that gives children with cancer wigs...
