Change Is Gonna Come
by Mike Farris

Album: Live from Westlake Studio B

I was born by the river
In a little old tent
Just like that river
I been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it is...

It's been too hard livin'
But I'm not afraid to die
Cause now I know what's up there
Beyond that blue sky
It's been a long, long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it will...

I had to go downtown to see my brother
My dear brother
I asked my brother, "Won't you help me please?"
He turned me down, he turned me down
So I had to go see my mother, my dear mother
I said, "Mother, mother, I'm down on my knees!"

There's been times when I thought
It's too late to go back home
But now I think I'm able
I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
Oh, yes, it will...

It's been a long, long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
