Gavin Degraw – Change Gonna Come lyrics

I was born by the river
In a little town
Oh and just like the river I’ve been running ever since

It’s been a long, long time coming
but I know 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 up there
Beyond the sky

It’s been a long, long time comin’
but I know change gonna come
Oh yes it will

I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around

It’s been a long, long time comin
but I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

Bridge:
When I go to my brother
I say Brother Help me please
But he winds up knockin me
Back down on my knees me beg you
Pleaseeeeee Yeahhhh
There’ve been times of hope
I couldn’t less belong
Now I think I’m able to carry on

It’s been a long, long time, long time comin but I know
Yeah, a change gonna come, oh yes he will.
