[00:09.34]Well I was born by the river
[00:15.99]In a little old tent
[00:21.59]And just like the river
[00:24.06]I've been running ever since
[00:28.91]It's been a long a long time coming
[00:36.90]But I know a change is gonna come
[00:47.05]And it's been too hard living
[00:53.46]But I'm afraid to die
[00:59.57]'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
[01:05.75]It's been a long a long time coming
[01:14.25]But I know a change is gonna come
[01:25.16]Well I go down to the movies
[01:31.22]And I go downtown
[01:36.20]But there's somebody telling me I cannot hang around
[01:43.40]It's been a long a long time coming
[01:52.31]I know a change is gonna come oh yes it is now
[02:05.25]So I go I go to my brother
[02:14.63]I say brother can help me please
[02:24.27]He just winds up
[02:27.05]He just winds up knockin' me down
[02:33.53]Back down on my knees
[02:39.69]Oh there's been times when I thought I couldn't last too long
[02:52.27]Somehow I was able to try to carry on
[02:58.44]It's been a long a long time coming
[03:07.27]But I know a change is gonna come
[03:11.24]

Well I was born by the river
In a little old tent
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 is gonna come
And 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 is gonna come
Well I go down to the movies
And I go downtown
But there's somebody telling me I cannot hang around
It's been a long a long time coming
I know a change is gonna come oh yes it is now
So I go I go to my brother
I say brother can help me please
He just winds up
He just winds up knockin' me down
Back down on my knees
Oh there's been times when I thought I couldn't last too long
Somehow I was able to try to carry on
It's been a long a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
