A Change Is Gonna Come
Embracing Hope: A Journey of Change in 'A Change Is Gonna Come'
Lyrics
I was born by the river in a little tent
I was born in a humble setting near a river, symbolizing my origin.
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
Similar to the river that keeps flowing, I've been constantly moving in life.
It's been a long time coming
There has been a considerable passage of time.
But I know a change is gonna come
Despite the challenges, I am confident that a positive transformation will occur.
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Living has been difficult, and the fear of death lingers.
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
Uncertainty about what lies beyond the sky.
It's been a long time coming
There's been a prolonged wait for change.
But I know a change is gonna come
Despite the challenges, I am optimistic that change will eventually come.
I go to the movie, and I go downtown
I engage in ordinary activities like going to movies and downtown.
Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"
Despite warnings, I continue to be present in certain places.
It's been a long time coming
There's been a prolonged anticipation of change.
But I know a change is gonna come
Despite the challenges, I am hopeful that a positive transformation will happen.
Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"
I turn to my brother for assistance.
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
Unfortunately, instead of help, my brother puts me down.
There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
There were moments when I felt unable to endure for a long time.
But now I think I'm able to carry on
Now, I feel capable of persevering through challenges.
It's been a long time coming
Despite the extended duration, change is expected to arrive.
But I know a change is gonna come
I remain confident that a positive transformation is imminent.
