There's an old friend that I once heard say Something that touched my heart And it began this way I was born by the river In a little tent And just like the river I've been running ever since He said it's been a long time coming But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah He said it's been too hard livin' But I'm afraid to die I might not be if I knew what was up there Beyond the sky It's been a long, long time coming But I know my change is got to come, oh yeah I went, I went to my brother And I asked him, "Brother Could you help me, please?" He said, "Good sister I'd like to but I'm not able" And when I, when I looked around I was right back down Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh There've been times that I thought I thought that I wouldn't last for long But somehow, right now I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on I tell you that it's been a long And oh, it's been an uphill journey, all the way But I know, I know, I know I know my change is gonna come Sometimes I had to cry all night long, yes I did Sometimes I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong Yes. it's been an uphill journey It's sure's been a long way coming, yes it has It's been real hard, every step of the way But I believe, I believe This evening my change is come Yeah, I tell you that my change is come
