Karaoké A Change Is Gonna Come Aretha Franklin

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 runnin' ever since

He said it's been a long time comin'

But I know my change is gonna come

Oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin' 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 comin'

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 it's been an uphill journey all the way

But I know, I know, I know

I know my change is gonna come

Sometimes

I had to cry all night long

Yes, I did

Sometimes

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

Yes, been an uphill journey

It's sure's been a long way comin'

Yes, it has

It's been real hard every step of the way

But I believe, I believe this evenin' my change is come

Yeah, I tell you that my change is come
