A Change Is Gonna Come - Aretha Franklin [00:00:01]
There's an old friend that[00:00:03]
I once heard say[00:00:07]
Something that touched my heart[00:00:12]
And it began this way[00:00:18]
I was born by the river[00:00:28]
In a little tent[00:00:37]
And just like the river[00:00:43]
I've been runnin' ever since[00:00:48]
He said it's been a long time comin'[00:00:53]
But I know my change is gonna come,[00:01:02]
Oh yeah[00:01:07]
He said it's been too hard livin'[00:01:16]
But I'm afraid to die[00:01:21]
I might not be if I knew what was up there[00:01:27]
Beyond the sky[00:01:32]
It's been a long, a long time comin'[00:01:37]
But I know my change has got to come,[00:01:46]
Oh yeah[00:01:51]
I went, I went to my brother[00:02:01]
And I asked him, "Brother[00:02:11]
Could you help me, please?"[00:02:15]
He said, "Good sister[00:02:22]
I'd like to but I'm not able"[00:02:26]
And when I, when I looked around[00:02:30]
I was right back down[00:02:33]
Down on my bended knees,[00:02:36]
Yes I was, oh[00:02:38]
There've been times that I thought[00:02:43]
I thought that I wouldn't last for long[00:02:49]
But somehow right now[00:02:55]
I believe that I'm able,[00:02:58]
I'm able to carry on[00:03:00]
I tell you that it's been a long[00:03:04]
And oh it's been an uphill journey,[00:03:07]
All the way[00:03:10]
But I know, I know, I know[00:03:13]
I know my change is gonna come[00:03:18]
Sometimes[00:03:25]
I had to cry all night long,[00:03:29]
Yes I did[00:03:31]
Sometimes[00:03:35]
I had to give up right,[00:03:40]
For what I knew was wrong[00:03:42]
Yes it's been an uphill journey[00:03:45]
It's sure's been a long way comin',[00:03:50]
Yes it has[00:03:53]
It's been real hard every step of the way[00:03:58]
But I believe, I believe[00:04:03]
This evenin' my change is come[00:04:05]
Yeah,[00:04:09]
I tell you that my change is come[00:04:10]
