[ Featuring the Howlers ]
I was born by the river
In a tent
Just like that river
I've been running every since
It's been a long time comin'
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long time comin'
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh yes, it will
Then, I go to my brother
Ask him, ""Brother, please""
And he just winds up knockin' me
Right down on my knees
There were times when I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long time comin'
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long time comin'
But I know
A change gonna come
Oh yes, it will
Oh, a change
Is gonna come"
