I was born by the river
In a little tent
And, oh, just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yeah, it is
It's been too hard livin'
And I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's out there, beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
And I know a change gonna come
Yes, I know
A change gonna come
