A Change Is Gonna Come Testo

And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I❝ve been runnin❝ ever since
He said it❝s been a long time comin❝
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, a long time comin❝
But I know my change has 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 along
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 comin❝
Yes it has
It❝s been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin❝ my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
My change is come..
