文本歌词

Written by：Sam Cooke
I was born by a river oh my
In this little old town oh
Just like this river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long long long
Long time coming but I know but I know
Changes gotta come now
Oh yes it is my oh my oh my oh my
It's been too hard living oh my
And I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the clouds
It's been a long long long
Long time coming but I know but I know
That changes gotta come
Oh yes it is my oh my oh my
There's a time
I will go to my brother oh my
I would ask my brother
Will you help me please oh now oh now
He turned me down
And then I asked my little mother oh my oh
I said mother I said mother
I'm down on my knees
It's been time that I know
Lord it's too late
Very long oh now oh
Somehow I thought I was still able
To try to carry on
It's been a long long long
Long time coming but I know
That changes gonna come
Oh yes it is
Huh just like I said
I went to my little bitty brother oh my
My little brother I asked my brother
Brother help me please oh now
He turned me down
And then I go to my little mother
My dear mother oh now huh
I said mother I said
Mother I'm down on my knees
But there was a time that I know
Lord it's too late
So very long oh my oh
Somehow I thought I was still able
To try to carry on
It's been a long long
Long time coming but I know but I know
That changes gotta come ho
It's been so long it's been so long
A little long
But changes gotta come
So tired so tired of suffering
Standing by myself
Has given up a home
But changes gotta come
You know and I know
You know that I know
And I know that you know
Honey that a change is gonna come
