Seal - A change is gonna come

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

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

Now I go to the movies and I go down town
Somebody keeps telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change's gonna come
Oh yes it is

So now I go to my brother
And I say "Brother, help me please"
But somehow winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

There were times I thought I wouldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able, able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change's gonna come
Oh yes it will

Oh I know, a change's gonna come
I said I know, a change's gonna come
Change's gonna come
Right now
Change's gonna come
I see it now
I said a change is gonna come
