A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I've been runnin'
Ever since
[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
[Verse 2]
It's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
[Verse 3]
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me "don't hang around"
[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
[Verse 4]
Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up
Knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Lor', there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to
Carry on
[Chorus]
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964)
, known professionally as Sam Cooke, was an American singer and songwriter. Considered one of the most influential soul artists of all time, Cooke is commonly referred to as the "King of Soul" for his distinctive vocals, pioneering contributions to the genre, and significance in popular music
Cooke was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and later relocated to Chicago with his family at a young age, where he began singing as a child and joined the Soul Stirrers as lead singer in the 1950s. Going solo in 1957, he released a string of hit songs, including "You Send Me", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Cupid", "Wonderful World", "Chain Gang", "Twistin' the Night Away", "Bring It On Home to Me", and "Good Times". During his eight-year career, Cooke released 29 singles that charted in the Top 40 of the Billboard Pop Singles chart, as well as 20 singles in the Top Ten of Billboard's Black Singles chart.
In 1964, Cooke was shot and killed by the manager of a motel in Los Angeles. After an inquest and investigation, the courts ruled Cooke's death to be a justifiable homicide. His family has since questioned the circumstances of his death.
Cooke's contributions to soul music contributed to the rise of Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Billy Preston, and popularized the work of Otis Redding and James Brown. AllMusic biographer Bruce Eder wrote that Cooke was "the inventor of soul music", and possessed "an incredible natural singing voice and a smooth, effortless delivery that has never been surpassed".
Cooke was also a central part of the civil rights movement, using his influence and popularity with the White and Black populations to fight for the cause. He was friends with boxer Muhammad Ali, activist Malcolm X and football player Jim Brown, who together campaigned for racial equality.

*For my Black & White Tribe, who the devil has tricked into believing that they are from two different tribes instead of One.
If you can figure this out & accept it, humanity will be saved by us & survive (we will survive), if not, we will all perish just like Mu, Atlantis & Great Tartaria.
We are 'One Tribe of Worldwide Natives = The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel', conquered by impostors called habirus, khazars,
sephardic, ashkenazi, khazarian, zionists AKA the synagogue of satan & its Sodom and Gomorrah agents in the so-called banking usury cartels, Christian churches, corporations, hollywood baphomets, N.orth E.ast W.est & S.outh serpent tongued deceivers, greedy political charlatans masquerading around like great men, when all they do is spread death & disease & in the background, the insidious inbreds playing pretend royals, who believe that their lizard ancestors, gave them the right to sacrifice our children & people, while they pretend that all of their inbreeding hasn't turned their brains to mush & them into immoral six ways to Sunday psychopaths , who begin the worldwide satanic abuse of humanity, with, their own children.
Cristobal Colon was a Polish jew, who converted to vatican Christianity @ the tip of a sword & his name magically became Christopher Columbus.
This demon wasn't looking for spices on his satanic voyages, he was looking for the 10 lost tribes of Israel, he found them in Hispaniola & Boriquen (original spelling not Borinquen) Puerto Rico speaking & writing Hebrew & the slaughter & genocide began & continued through the other European invaders on the mainland, who had discovered other tribes like the Ohio, Erie, Meskwaki (also called Fox Indians) , Sauk, Wyandot, Lenape, Shawnee, and Mingo, & other ttibes in Amaraca spoke & wrote Hebrew, there is irrefutable evidence like carved plaques with Hebrew letters, simular ones have been found in Palestine with the same ancient Hebrew letters.
