[ Featuring Gary Clark Jr. ]
I was born by a river in a little tent
Oh and just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna 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 gonna come, oh yes it will
Said, I go to the movie and I go downtown
Some people keep on tellin' me, "No, no, don't you come around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up, oh, he drops me
Right down on my knees
There have been times that I thought I could not last for long
When I thought to myself, oh, got to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
