Syesha Mercado - A Change is Gonna Come Lyrics May 6, 2008
I was born by the river
In a little tent, and o
just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
'cause I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky,
It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
(I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me
don't hang around)
It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
and I say brother help me please
But he wind up knocking me
back down on my knees
There have been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
