Change Gonna Come Lyrics
[Intro]
I was born by a river, oh man, in this little old tent
Oh, just like this river I've been running ever since
[Chorus]
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come now
Ooh, yes it is
On my, oh my, oh my, oh my
[Verse 1]
It's been too hard living, oh my
And I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the clouds
[Chorus]
It's been a long long, long time coming
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come
Oh, yes it is
On my
[Verse 2]
There was a time I would go to my brother, oh my
I asked my brother, "Will you help me please?" Oh my, oh my
He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother, oh
I said, "Mother"
I said, "Mother, I'm down on my knees"
It's been a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long, oh now, oh
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
[Chorus]
It's been a long long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it is
[Verse 3]
Huh, just like I said, I went to my little bitty brother, oh my little brother
I asked my brother, "Brother help me please?" Oh, now
He turned me down and then I go to my little mother, my dear mother
Oh now, I said, "Mother"
I said, "Mother, I'm down on my knees"
But there was a time that I thought
Lord this couldn't last for very long, oh my, oh
But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on
[Chorus]
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know, but I know a change is gotta come, ooh
It's been so long, it's been so long, a little too long
But a change has gotta come
[Outro]
I'm so tired, so tired of standing by myself
And standing by my self and standing up alone
But a change has gotta come
You know and i know, you know that I know
I know that you know, honey that change is gonne come, oh my
I got to feel good, I got to have a good time
A change
Otis Ray Redding Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967)
was an American singer and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. Nicknamed the "King of Soul", Redding's style of singing gained inspiration from the gospel music that preceded the genre. His singing style influenced many other soul artists of the 1960s.
Redding was born in Dawson, Georgia, and at age two, moved to Macon. Redding quit school at age 15 to support his family, working with Little Richard's backing band, the Upsetters, and by performing in talent shows at the historic Douglass Theatre in Macon. In 1958, he joined Johnny Jenkins's band, the Pinetoppers, with whom he toured the Southern states as a singer and driver. An unscheduled appearance on a Stax recording session led to a contract and his first hit single, "These Arms of Mine", in 1962.

Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix & Otis Reddings official causes of death are cover stories.
They were all murdered because they were in the process of joining different record labels & for theipublishing rights to their music
Same parasites murdering beautiful souls.
Do not be deceived.
