I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I been a runnin` ever since
It`s been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change gon` come oh yes it will
It`s been too hard living but I`m afraid to die
Cuz I don`t know what`s up there beyond the sky
It`s been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change gon` come oh yes it will
