INTRO
You changed the world
Yes you did
It will never be the same
VERSE 1
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
Long time coming
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh, yes it will (Oh, yes it will)
VERSE 2
It's been too hard living (too)
Yeah, but I'm not afraid to die (oooo)
Because I know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long (long)
A long time coming (time coming)
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh, yes it will (Oh, yes it will)
VERSE 3
Now listen
But then I go to my brother (my brother)
And I say Brother, help me please (help me please)
But he winds up
Oh, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Oh, there were times when I thought
That I wouldn't last for long (ooo)
Oh, but now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long, long (long)
Long time coming (time coming)
But I know, I know, I know
A change gonna come
Oh, yes it will (oh, yes it will)
I know, I know (I know)
A change gonna come (yes)
Yes, it will (yes, it will)
I believe, I believe
That a change is gonna come (I believe)
Oh yes it will (oh yes it is)
Said I know, I know, I know, I know
A change IS coming (change IS coming)
Said, I know a change is gonna come
Yes, it will (yes it will)
Yeah (yeah)
