[Verse 1]
I was born by the river, in a little tent
But, oh, just like the river's been a running
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is goin' come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cause my mama never told me what goes on beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is goin' come, oh yes it will

[Chorus]
Say!
Like I said, I call to my brother
Say!
Brother, brother, would you help me, please
Oh they whine so, that crazy town
What goes on, was spendin' me
There was a time, thought I'd fall
I couldn't learn, alone
But I want to thank you Jesus, thank you for
For carrying me home

[Bridge]
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is goin' come, oh yes it will
