Song lyrics
I was born by the river 
In a little tent
Oh 
And just like the river I been a running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' 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 beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come 
Oh 
Yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, "Don't hang around"
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come 
Oh 
Yes it will

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother help me please" 
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
Oh

There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on 
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh 
Yes it will

Damn, you guys are wierd. STOKES is the only one to get it right.

"it's been too hard living, but im afraid to die"

is all about prejudice and how blacks were mistreated
