A Change Is Gonna Come

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
But now I think I'm able to carry on
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
There were times when I thought I could not last for long
It's been a long time coming
And I ask him to help me please
It's been a long, such a long time coming
'Cause I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
And then I go to my brother
And he just winds up knockin' me
It's been a long, been a long time coming
It's been a long, a long time coming

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
And I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
'Cause I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Back down on my knees
