A Change Is Gonna Come Aretha Franklin

[Intro]
There's an old friend that
I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

[Verse 1]
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since

[Chorus]
He said it's been a long time coming
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky

[Chorus]
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know my change is got to come, oh yeah
