A Change Is Gonna Come - Wayne Brady

I was born by the river in a little tent

Just like that river, I’ve been runnin' ever since

It’s been a long, long time comin'

But I know a change gonna come, ooh

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 time comin'

But I know a change gonna come, oh

I go to the movies and I go downtown

Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around

It’s been a long, long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, see

Then I go to my brother

And I say, brother, help me please

Oh, but he winds up, oh, winds up knockin' me

Down on my, knockin' me down on my knees, oh

There’s been times when I thought

That I wouldn’t last for long

But now I know I’m able to carry on

It’s been a long, long time comin'

But I know a change is gonna come, oh
