  I was born by the river.. in a little tent
  No just like that river I've.. been running ever since
  It's been a long.. a long time coming
  but I knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
  Oh yes it will..
  It's been tooooooo 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 tiiiime.. a long time coming
  but I knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
  Oh yes it will..
  And I go.. to my brother (yes I do)
  And say, "Brother - help me please" (well well)
  But he winds up, knocking me..
  I got on my knees, oahhhoooohhhhh
  There's been times, that I thought
  I wouldn't last too long..
