There's an old friend
That i once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But i know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin'
But i'm afraid to die
I might not be if i knew
What was up there beyond the sky
It's been a long a long time comin'
But i know my change has got to come
Oh yeah

I went i went to my brother
And i asked him "brother
Could you help me please?"
He said "good sister
I'd like to but i'm not able"
And when i when i looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes i was oh

There i've been times that i thought
I thought that i wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now i believe
That i'm able i'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But i know i know i know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes i had to cry all night long
Yes i did
Sometimes i had to give up right
For what i knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin'
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But i believe i believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah i tell you that
My change is come
