A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics by Cold War Kids

The Paradiso Sessions (Live)

2008

Anything we should know about your change?
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living but 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 coming
But I know a change gonna come
Well, I go to the movies and I go downtown
Well, some people don't want me to hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, change gon' come, change gon' come
