Producer [live version]: john hudson
Album: live in europe [88], the collected recordings [94]
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river Ive been running ever since
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Its been too hard living and Im affraid to die
I dont know whats up there beyond the sky
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
I go to the movies and I go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me "dont hang around"
Its been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother
And I say "brother, please"
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Sometimes I thought I wouldnt last for long
But now I think Im able to carry on
Its been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
