A Mudança Está Por Vim

A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
I was born by the river
In a little tent
In a little tent
And just like the river,
And just like the river,
I've been running ever since
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Oh yes it will

It's been too hard living,
It's been too hard living,
But I'm afraid to die
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh yes it wil
Oh yes it will

I go to the movie,
I go to the movie,
And I go downtown
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me
Somebody keep telling me
"Don't hang around"
"Don't hang around"
It's been a long, long time coming
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
Then I go to my brother
And I say "Brother, help me please"
And I say "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back
But he winds up knocking me back
Down on my knees
Down on my knees

There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come
But I know, a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will
Oh yes it will
