歌词
I was born by the river, oh man
In this little old tent, oh
Just like this river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know
A change is gonna come
Ooh, yes it is, now oh man, oh man, oh
It's been too hard living, oh man
And I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the clouds
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is, now oh man, oh man, oh
There's a time I will go to my brother, oh man
I've asked my brother, "Will you help me please?" oh man, oh man
He turned me down
And then I asked my dear mother, oh
I said, "Mother," I said, "Mother, I'm down on my knees"
It's been a time that I thought
Lord, this couldn't last very long, oh now oh
Somehow I thought I was still able
To try to carry on
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Just like I said
I went to my little bitty brother, oh man
My little brother now
I asked my brother, "Brother, help me please" oh now
He turned me down
And then I go to my little mother
My dear mother, oh man
I said, "Mother," I said, "Mother, I'm down on my knees"
But there was a time that I thought
Lord, this couldn't last very long, oh man, oh
Somehow I thought I was still able
To try to carry on
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know
A change is gonna come
Ooh, it's been so long, it's been so long
I've lived too long
But a change has gotta come
I'm so tired, so tired of suffering
Standing by myself and standing up alone
But a change has gotta come
You know and I know
You know that I know
I know and you know
Honey, that a change is gonna come, oh
Oh man
I got the feel good
I got the hell good
