The REAL version of A Change Is Gonna Come of Sam Cooke. Not sung by any one else. CD quality! With lyrics!

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming,
But i know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

There's been times that I thought
I wouldn'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 a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

    I had this good friend, Shaw was his name. He knew this man and sung with him on occassion. He spent the rest of his life mourning the death of Sam. When ever he played his songs on LP's he would cry. And Shaw was a big man and did not care who saw him. He had lots of stories about Sam, all good. RIP Sam.
