Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin’ me
Back down on my knees

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Sam Cooke – A Change is Gonna Come – Acapella arrangement!

Published on Oct 23, 2016

My humble arrangement of a classic song from the mid 60’s.
It beautifully touches on the race issues within those times and with that I hope that my interpretation does not take away from it’s original intent.

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,

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
