I was born by the river


I was born by the river

In a little tent

And just like the river

Ive been running ever since


Its been a long, long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh, yes it is


Its been too hard living

But Im afraid to die

I dont know whats up there beyond the sky

Its been a long, long time coming

But I know a change gonna come

Oh yes it will


Then I go to my brotherI say brother

help me please

But he winds up knocking me

Back down on my knees


Theres been times that I thought

I wouldnt last for long

But now I think Im able to carry on

Its been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it will
