Celeste Tuman A Change (is Gonna Come)
I was born in the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since (running ever since)
It's been a long, long time coming (long time coming)
But I know a change is gonna come tomorrow
A change is gonna come tomorrow
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky (beyond the sky)
I go to the movies and I go downtown
Somebody keeps on telling me don't hang around (don't you hang
around)
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please (won't you help me please)
But suddenly he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees (on my knees)
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming (long time coming)
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
