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 is gonna come
oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know
A 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
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up
knocking me
Back down on my knees
oh!
There've 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
我出生在河边的一个小帐篷里
我一直以来都在漂流,像河流一样
这是很漫长的时间了
不过,我知道是要去改变未来
等了很久了
这是很难的生活
噢,是的,它一定会发生
但是我不怕跌倒
因为我不只知道前方有什么
很长的时间
等了很久了
超越天空
改变未来
噢,是的,它将要发生
但我知道
我去看电影,我去市区里
一直的有人告诉我不要一直观望
这是漫长
等了很久了
我去市区
噢,是的,将
不过,我知道要去的变化来
然后我去找我的兄弟
我说兄弟帮我请
敲击箱
但他风
噢!
目前已经倍,我想我不能持续很长时间
但现在我认为我能够继续
这是漫长
等了很久了
但我知道
改变要去来
噢,是的,将
