作曲：Sam Cooke
I was born by the river
in a little old tent
Oh just like this 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 is
On my
It's been too hard living
And I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know
what's up there
Beyond the clouds
It's been a long
long time coming
But I know a change
is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Oh my
There's a time
I would go to my brother
I asked my brother
will you help me please
He turned me down and then
I ask my dear mother
I said Mother
I'm down on my knees
It's been a time
that I thought
Lord this couldn't last
for very long
But somehow I thought
I was still able to try
to carry on
It's been a long
long time coming
But I know a change
is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Just like I said I went
to my little bitty brother
I asked my brother
Brother help me please
He turned me down and then
I go to my little mother
I said Mother
I'm down on my knees
But there was a time
that I thought
Lord this couldn't last
for very long
But somehow I thought
I was still able to try
to carry on
It's been a long
long time coming
But I know a change
is gonna come
Oh yes it will
