I was born by the river in a little tent,
Oh, and like that river,
I've been running ever since,
It's been a long, 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, oh,
See, I don't know what's up there,
Beyond the sky,
It's been a long, long time coming,
But I know a change is gonna come,
Oh, yes it will.

But then I go to my brother,
And I ask him "Brother, help me, please",
But he winds up, knocking me down,
Oh, it's been hard,
It's been so hard.
It's been too hard.

And when I go to the movies,
And I go downtown,
Oh, somebody keeps telling me,
"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.
