    A change is gonna come (1964) 

                                Autor: Sam Cooke


    Gênero: R&B/Soul

    I was born by the river, in a little tent


    Oh, and just like the river
    I've been running ever since

    It's been a long


    A long time coming
    But I know a change gonna come
    Oh, yes it will

    It's been too hard living


    But I'm afraid to die
    'Cause I don't know what's up there
    Beyond the sky

    It's been a long


    A long time coming
    But I know a change gonna come
    Oh, yes it will

    I go to the movie
    And I go downtown
    Somebody keep telling me
    Don't hang around

    It's been a long


    A long time coming
    But I know, a change gonna come
    Oh, yes it will

    Then I go to my brother
    And I say, brother, help me please
    But he winds up, knockin' me
    Back down on my knees

    Oh, there been times that I thought


    I couldn't last for long
    But now I think I'm able, to carry on

    It's been a long


    A long time coming
    But I know a change gonna come
    Oh, yes it will
