otis redding – change gonna come lyrics
i was born by a river, oh my
in this little old town, oh
just like this river
i’ve been running ever since
it’s been a long, long, long
long time coming but i know, but i know
changes gotta come, now
oh yes it is, my oh, my oh, my oh, my
it’s been too hard livin’, oh my
and i’m afraid to die
i don’t know what’s up there
beyond the clouds
it’s been a long, long, long
long time coming but i know, but i know
that changes gotta come
oh yes it is, my oh, my oh, my
there’s a time
i will go to my brother, oh my
i would ask my brother
will you help me please, oh now oh now
he turned me down
and then i asked my little mother, oh my oh
i said, “mother”, i said, “mother
i’m down on my knees”
it’s been time that i know
lord, it’s too late
very long, oh now oh
somehow i thought i was still able
to try to carry on
it’s been a long, long, long
long time coming but i know
that changes gonna come
oh yes, it is
huh, just like i said
i went to my little bitty brother, oh my
my little brother, i asked my brother
“brother, help me please”, oh now
he turned me down
and then i go to my little mother
my dear mother, oh now, huh
i said, “mother”, i said
“mother, i’m down on my knees”
but there was a time that i know
lord, it’s too late
so very long, oh my oh
somehow i thought i was still able
to try to carry on
it’s been a long, long
long time coming but i know, but i know
that changes gotta come, ho

a little long
but changes gotta come
so tired, so tired of suffering
standing by myself
has given up a home
but changes gotta come
you know and i know
you know that i know
and i know that you know
honey, that a change is gonna come
oh now, oh my, i gotta
