Aretha Franklin - A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics
Theres an old friendThat I once heard saySomething that touched my heartAnd it began this wayI was born by the riverIn a little tentAnd just like the riverIve been runnin ever sinceHe said its been a long time cominBut I know my change is gonna comeOh yeahHe said its been too hard livinBut Im afraid to dieI might not be if I knewWhat was up there beyond the skyIts been a long, a long time cominBut I know my change has got to comeOh yeahI went, I went to my brotherAnd I asked him, ""BrotherCould you help me, please?""He said, ""Good sisterId like to but Im not able""And when I, when I looked aroundI was right back downDown on my bended kneesYes I was, ohThereve been times that I thoughtI thought that I wouldnt last for longBut somehow right now I believeThat Im able, Im able to carry onI tell you that its been alongAnd oh its been an uphill journeyAll the wayBut I know, I know, I knowI know my change is gonna comeSometimes I had to cry all night longYes I didSometimes I had to give up rightFor what I knew was wrongYes its been an uphill journeyIts sures been a long way cominYes it hasIts been real hardEvery step of the wayBut I believe, I believeThis evenin my change is comeYeah I tell you thatMy change is come..
