A Change Is Gonna Come

Текст песни Leslie Odom, Jr. - A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since

It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky

It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will

I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me "don't hang around"

It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up
Knockin' mе
Back down on my knees
Lor', there been time that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm ablе to
Carry on

It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
