Change Is Gonna Come [Michael Jackson]

I was born by the river in a little tentAnd just like the river, I've been running ever sinceIt's been a long time comingBut I know a change is gonna come
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to dieI don't know what's up there beyond the skyIt's been a long time comingBut I know a change is gonna come
I go to the movie, and I go downtownSomebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"It's been a long time comingBut I know a change is gonna come
Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for longBut now I think I'm able to carry onIt's been a long time comingBut I know a change is gonna come
