A Change Is Gonna Come

Well, it’s dark in the city
I’ve lost my pride
The lights in the streets hide the stars from my eyes
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And it’s too hard living
But I’m afraid to die
Cause I don’t know what’s up there
Just beyond the sky
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And I miss my family
My little girl
She is my princess
I’d give her the world
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
I just need some comfort
Some kind of belief
That this war we’re fighting
Can really bring some peace
There’s no rhyme nor reason
Or sweet melody
More and more weapons
Mean less security
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And I’ve tried to find it
Some better place
Where having the biggest gun
Ain’t some kind of race
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
There’s been times 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 that change is gonna come
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
Yes, a change is gonna come
