Leela James - A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent
And oh just like the river I've been runnin' ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I, I know a change gonna come

O yes it will

It's been too hard living
But I am afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's out there, beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I, I know a change gonna come

O yes it will

There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
But somehow I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, I know a change gonna come

O yes it will

And then I go to my mother
I said mother 'Would you help me please?'
She said I'd like to, I really would, but I'm just not able
Then I looked around and I was right back down, down on my knees

Oh

There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
But somehow I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come

O yes it will
