Artist/Band: Aretha Franklin
Lyrics for Song: A Change Is Gonna Come
Lyrics for Album: 100 Hits Legends-Aretha Franklin [2010]



There's an old friend

That I once heard say

Something that touched my heart

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..
