Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come" / Throwback Post

Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come" is a throwback post taking it to 1963 when black Americans only dreamed of having a black president like we do today with President Obama. This is truly an emotional and soulful song about struggle, the black mans struggle in this white mans world, as Pac would say it. This video shows the struggle of black Americans from the early days up to the present over Sam Cooke's amazing vocals~

Lyrics 

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, 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 telling 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

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There 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 gonna come, oh yes it will
