a change is gonna come

I’ve been through quite a number of years,

and the blues always beside _
I’ve cried so many nights, so many tears,
and the blues really pushed me down _

now I wonder, if this might last forever,
should I stay in misery ?
I’d like to know the other side, but,
Time determines reality _

a change is gonna come,
a change will be _
I’ll run to you my love,
and you will feel…

I’ve met quite a number of challenges,
and the blues always beside _
such as a leitmotiv it made me wonder,
if Blues couldn’t stay aside _

Now I hope these things will change,
what about my destiny ?
I’d like to know, if somebody’s up there,
how it’s supposed to be ?

a change is gonna come,
and you will see _
the love I’ll send to you,
would be something real…

I’ve traveled quite a number of miles,
the river’s always flowing beside _
I don’t like being inside the central line,
my survival instinct is to stay aside _

staying aside ain’t living aside,
just being a part of the human crowd.
ain’t got the strength of a high-considered man,
just enough to justify my presence.

a change is gonna come,
and things will turn out real _
you’ll find the one,
to satisfy your needs…
