Band: Sam Cooke Album: Ain't that good news Song: A change is gonna come I was born by the river In a little tent, and o just like that river I've been running ever since It's been 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 up there beyond the sky, It's been a long time coming, but I know A change is gonna 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 time coming, but I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will Then I go to my brother and I say brother help me please But he wind up (knocking) me back down on my knees There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long time, but I know A change is gonna come, oh yes it will --- http://www.lyricsdot.com/ - 95000+ lyrics from 10000+ bands online
