♪Yolanda Adams:♪ I was born by the river in a little tent that,
0, just like that river I've been running ever since.
It's been a long, a long time comin' but I know a change is
gonna come.
Yeah, yes, it will!
It's been too hard a living but I'm afraid to die 'cause I don't
know what's out there far beyond the sky.
It's been a long, long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come.
Yeah, yeah, yes, it will, now.
So I go to my brother.
And I'll say brother, brother, brother, brother would you help me please.
But then, then when I ask him somehow he just keeps on
knocking me, knocking me down on my knees.
There are times when I thought I would not last but now, now,
now, I think that I'll be able to carry on, because it's been a
long, long, long, long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come.
It's been a long time comin' but a change has got to come, yeah,
right now, right now, right now, change is gonna come, change has
already come.
Yeah, change has come!
