Aloe Blacc Long Time Coming song lyrics

I was born by the river

In a little tent

Just like the river

I've been runnin ever since

It's been a long time coming

But I Know change gonna come, oh yes it will.

It's been too hard living

But I'm afraid to die

Cause I don't know what's up there

In the sky

It's been a long time coming

But I Know change gonna come

I go the movies

And I go downtown

Somebody keep telling mee, don't

Don't hang around

Then I go to my brother

And I say brother help me please

But he rise up knocking me back on my knees

There's been times that I thought I would not last for long

Now I think I may grow

To carrie on

Its been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh

Yes it will.
