It's Been A Long Time Coming - Sam Cooke

I was born by the river
 In a little tent
 And just like the river
 I've been running ever since

It's been too hard living
 But I'm afraid to die
 I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time coming
 But I know a change gonna come
 Oh yes it will

There's 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, long time coming
 But I know a change is gonna come
 Oh, yes it will
