David John Ricci - A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river…
In a little' ole tent
And just like that river I've keep running,
Ever since

It's been a long….
A long time coming
But I know, Yes I know,
A Change Gonna Come!
Oh... Yes it will.

It ain't hard living, but I'm afraid to die
ButI don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long, a long time coming
But I know, Yes I know,
A Change Gonna Come!
Oh... Yes it will.

You know, there been times,
I go to the movies and I go downtown.
Someone's always trying to tell me, Chile,
Don't be… hanging around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know…. I know
A Change Gonna Come!
Oh... Yes it will.


Then I go to my brother
Oooooh… Oooooh…
And I say brother help me please.
Oooooh… Oooooh…
But he winds up knocking me,
Oooooh… Oooooh…
Down to my knees!

There been times…
I thought…
That I couldn't last for long,
But now I think now, I'm able to carry on.
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, Yes I know, Yes I know…
A Change Gonna Come!
