A Change Is Gonna Come - Leela James

Lyrics by：Sam Cooke

I was born by the river

In a little tent

And gorgeous like the river

I've been running ever since

It's been a long

A long time coming

But I I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will

It's been too hard living

But I am 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 I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will

There's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long oh

But somehow

I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long

A long time coming

But I know I know a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will

And then I go to my mother

Mother can you help me

I said mother could you help me please

Help me help me please help me oh ya

She said I'd like to I really would

But I'm just not able

Not able

Then I looked around looked around

And I was right back down

Down on my knees oh woah oh

There's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long

But somehow

I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long

A long time coming

But I know a a change is gonna come

Oh yes it will
