A Change Is Gonna Come (Lp Version) - Aretha Franklin (艾瑞莎·弗兰克林)

There's an old friend that I once heard say

Something that touched my heart and it began this way

I was born by the river in a little tent

And just like the river I've been running every since

He said it's been a long time coming

But I know my change is gonna come

Oh yeah

He said it's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die

I might not be if I knew what was up there beyond the sky

It's been a long a long time coming

But I know my change has got to come

Oh yeah

I went I went to my brother

And I asked him brother could you help me please

He said good sister I'd like to but I'm not able

And when I when I looked around I was right back down

Down on my bended knees

Yes I was oh

There've been times that I thought

I thought that I wouldn't last for long

But somehow right now I believe that I'm able

I'm able to carry on

I tell you that it's been a long and oh

With been an uphill journey all the way

But I know I know I know I know my change is gonna come

Sometimes I've had to cry all night long yes I did

Sometimes I had to give up right for what I knew was wrong

Yeah it's been an uphill journey

It's sure been a long way coming yes it has

It's been real hard every step of the way

But I believe I believe this evening my change has come

Yeah
