Change Is Gonna Come Songtext

Beyond the clouds

It's been a long long, long time coming
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Oh yes it is
On my!

There was a time I would go to my brother
I asked my brother, "Will you help me please?"
He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother, oh
I said "Mother!"
I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"

It's been a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
It's been a long long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it is
Just like I said, I went to my little bitty brother, my littlee brother
I asked my brother "Brother help me please?"
He turned me down and then I go to my little mother, my dear mother
I said "Mother!"
I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"

But there was a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
It's been a long long, long time coming
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Ooh it's been so long, it's been so long, a little too long
But a change has gotta come

I'm so tired, so tired of standing by myself
And standing by my self
And standing up alone
But a change has gotta come
You know and i know
You know that I know
I know that you know, honey
That change is gonne come, oh my
