Letra de
A Change's Gonna Come

A Change Is Gonna Come foi escrita por Sam Cooke, inspirado tanto por sua própria luta pessoal com a discriminação racial que ele enfrentou durante sua vida quanto pelo Movimento dos Direitos Civis nos Estados Unidos. A música foi lançada em 1964, após a morte de Cooke, e tornou-se um hino do Movimento dos Direitos Civis.

I was born by the river, in a little tent,
Oh and, just like that river, I've, been running, ever since.
It's been a long a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die,
 'Cos I don't know what's out there, beyond the sky.
It's been a long a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.

I go to the movie and I go downtown,
 Somebody keep telling me; don't, hang around.
It's been a long a long time coming, but I know, oh-oh-oh,
 A change is 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 been times when 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, oh-oh-oh,
 A change is gonna come, oh, yes it will.
