A Change Is Gonna Come
Embracing Hope: Bobby Womack's Soulful Journey through Change
Lyrics
"lyrics here
-I was born by the river
I came into existence near a river
In an old tent
In a makeshift dwelling
Oh just like the river
Similar to the constant flow of the river
I've been runnin' ever since
I've been constantly moving or fleeing
It's been a long long time coming
A significant amount of time has passed
But I know a change is gonna come
Despite the lengthy wait, I am confident that a positive transformation is imminent
Oh yes it will
A reassurance that the awaited change will indeed happen
It's been through hard living
Enduring difficult life experiences
And makes me afraid to die
This challenging life makes the prospect of death frightening
Cause I don't know whats up there
Uncertainty about the afterlife
Beyond the sky
Contemplating what lies beyond the sky
It's been a long long time coming
A significant amount of time has passed
But I know a change gonna come
However, the belief in a forthcoming positive change persists
Oh yeah
Expressing confidence in the inevitability of change
Then I go to my brother
Turning to a sibling for assistance
I say brother help me please
Pleading for help from the brother
But he's always wind up knockin' me
Experiencing disappointment as the brother fails to provide the expected help
Back out on my knees oh
Finding oneself back in a vulnerable position
There's been times when I thought
Reflecting on moments of despair
I couldn't last so long
Times when it seemed impossible to endure
But now that I think i'm able
Feeling more capable now
To try to carry on
Determined to continue
It's been a long long time coming
A significant amount of time has passed
But I know a change gonna come
Belief in an impending positive change remains
Oh yes it will
Reiterating the confidence in the forthcoming change
