aretha franklin – a change is gonna come lyrics
there’s an old friend
that i once heard say
something that touched my heart
and it began this way
i was born by the river
in a little tent
and just like the river
i’ve been runnin’ ever since
he said it’s been a long time comin’
but i know my change is gonna come, oh yeah
he said it’s been too hard livin’
but i’m afraid to die
i might not be if i knew what was up there
beyond the sky
it’s been a long, a long time comin’
but i know my change has got to come, oh yeah
i went, i went to my brother
and i asked him, “brother
could you help me, please?”
he said, “good sister
i’d like to but i’m not able”
and when i, when i looked around
i was right back down
down on my bended knees, yes i was, oh
there’ve been times that i thought
i thought that i wouldn’t last for long
but somehow right now
i believe that i’m able, i’m able to carry on
i tell you that it’s been a long
and oh it’s been an uphill journey, all the way
but i know, i know, i know
i know my change is gonna come
sometimes
i had to cry all night long, yes i did
sometimes
i had to give up right, for what i knew was wrong
yes it’s been an uphill journey
it’s sure’s been a long way comin’, yes it has
it’s been real hard every step of the way
but i believe, i believe
this evenin’ my change is come
yeah, i tell you that my change is come
