Karaoké Change Gonna Come Otis Redding

I was born by a river, oh yeah in this little old tent

Oh

Just like this river

I've been running ever since

It's been a long long time coming

But I know, but I know a change is gotta come yeah

Oh yes it is

Oh my, oh my

It's been too hard living, oh my and I'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there beyond the clouds

It's been a long long time coming

But I know, I know a change is gotta come

Oh yes it is

Oh my, oh my, oh my

There was a time

I would go to my brother

I asked my brother

Will you help me please?

Oh now, now, now

He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother, oh

I said mother

I said mother

I'm down on my knees

It's been a time that I thought

Lord this couldn't last for very long no, no, no, no

But somehow I thought

I was still able to try to carry on

It's been a long long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it is

Uh

Just like I said

I went to my little bitty brother

Oh my little brother

I asked my brother

Brother help me please, oh now

He turned me down and then I go to my little mother

My dear mother, oh no

I said mother

I said mother

I'm down on my knees

But there was a time that I thought

Lord this couldn't last for very long, oh my, oh

Somehow I thought

I was still able to try to carry on

It's been a long long time coming

But I know, but I know a change is gotta come, ooh

It's been so long it's been so long a little too long

A change has gotta come

So tired, so tired of standing by myself and standing up alone

A change has gotta come

You know, I know and you know that I know

I know that you know honey that a change is gonna come oh yeah
