Lemar A Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by the river in a little tent, oh
Just like a river, I've been running every since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change's gonna come, oh, yes, it will
It's been too hard living, but I don't wanna die
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, yes it will
I go to the movies, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, don't come around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, I know, I know, I know
A change gon' come, yes it will
When I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on, back down on my knees, oh
There were times where I thought I wouldn't last so long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
'Cause it's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, I know, I know, I know
A change will come, yes it will
