A Change Is Gonna Come — текст песни (Leela James)

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Lord, just by the river I`ve been running ever since

CHORUS:
It`s been a long, a long time commin`
But I know, I know a change 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 out there beyond the sky

CHORUS

There`s been times that I thought
I wouldn`t last for long
But somehow I think I`m able to carry on

CHORUS
It`s been a long, a long time commin`
But I know, I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

And then I go to my mother
(Can you help me)
I said, Mother, could you help me please? (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

CHORUS
