A Change Is Gonna Come歌詞

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Ooh just like the river I've been running
Ever since
It's been a long a long time coming
But I I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I am afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long a long time coming
But I I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But somehow I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long a long time coming
But I know I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
And then I go to my mother
（Mother Can you help me）
I said Mother could you help me please
（Help me Help me please）
She said I'd like to I really would but I'm just not able
Then I looked around and I was right back down
Down on my knees
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But somehow I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long a long time coming
But I know
A change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
