A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics - Ain't That Good News - Sam Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent 

Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since 

It's been a long, a long time coming 

But I know a change gon' 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, a long time coming 

But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will 

I go to the movie and I go down town 

Somebody keep telling me don't hang around

It's been a long, a long time coming 

But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will 

Then I go to my brother 

And I say, "Brother, help me please." 

But he winds up knockin' me 

Back down on my knees 

Photos 

There 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, a long time coming 

But I know a change gon' come, oh yes it will
