Description: Hey guys!!!!! Ever since I was a child, from the age of 4, I fell so deeply in love with, and was always so deeply moved by the blues, jazz, and soul music of black artists. I so stand with the very people who have paved the road from which I started making music - The very road that has helped to heal my heart - The very road that literally enables me to eat and have a safe place to rest my head. Thank you all! This song is from an artist who has influenced who I am today.I hope you like it :) Love,Beth Lyrics: 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 Artist: Sam Cooke Album: Ain't That Good News Released: 1964 Genre: R&B/Soul
