Everlast - A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics






I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a 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
'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 gonna 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 gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Oh there been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

  4. R.... R....

    I was born by the river in a little tent
    Oh and just like the river I've been running ev'r since
    It's been a long time, a 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
    '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 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
    And I say brother help me please
    But he winds up knockin' me
    Back down on my knees, oh
    There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
    But now I think I'm able to carry on
    It's been a long, a long time coming
    But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

    Goose bumps!

  6. l.... ....

    I prefer the original although Everlast does an excellent job of the remake. Many many artist have remade the song but all fail in comparison to the original. You have to not only consider the voice but the context of the lyrics.

  7. h.... ....

    Good stuff and great cover Everlast is all about respecting the oldies yet ignored!!!

  8. h.... ....

    this is the problem with people. Everlast did his own rendition. Everlast never goes out and says he's better nor he redoes songs better, he is paying respect to a great song, take a f'n prozac and just enjoy the f'n song please.

  9. d.... ....

    Ottis Redding also shreads this..his voice kills this track.erik did an awesome job too.

  10. w.... ....

    Everybody is entitled to their opinion and yes sam does a great job i just like everlasts verson better

  11. s.... ....

    NOTHING IS BETTER THAN SAM COOKES VERISON. NOBODIES AND EVERYBODY REMAKES IT! COOKE SANG THIS FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE! I LOVE EVERLAST, BUT THIS ISNT CLOSE TO S COOKE.

  12. w.... ....

    this song is a remake of sam cook's A change is gonna come made in 1963 but everlast does a better job with it

  13. A.... G....

    Awsome it gets no better then everlast

  14. R.... ....

    awesome

  15. H.... H....
