[00:09.01]I was born by the river in a little tent
[00:21.32]Just like the river I've been running ever since
[00:27.23]It's been a long, a long time coming
[00:35.36]But I know change is gonna come, ooh yes it will
[00:45.00]It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
[00:57.37]I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
[01:03.36]It's been a long, a long, long time coming
[01:11.38]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes
[01:20.70]And I go to the movies and I go downtown
[01:32.32]Everybody they keep telling me don't you come around
[01:39.30]It's been a long, oh it's been a long time coming
[01:47.23]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yeah
[01:59.51]Then I go, go to my brother, I say brother help me please
[02:18.00]He just winds up knocking me down, back down on my knees
[02:33.01]And there are times I thought I wouldn't last too long
[02:49.22]But now I know that I, I, I, I can carry on
[02:56.25]It's been a long, long time coming
[03:02.84]But I know my change is gonna come, ooh yeah
[03:24.89]It's gonna come

I was born by the river in a little tent
Just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know change is gonna come, ooh yes it will
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes
And I go to the movies and I go downtown
Everybody they keep telling me don't you come around
It's been a long, oh it's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yeah
Then I go, go to my brother, I say brother help me please
