2013 CARA Award Nominee - Best High School Solo
Solo - Quinton Thomas
Vocal Percussion - Aurora Mitchell
Arrangement - Shawn Pearce
Originally Performed by - Sam Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, just like that river, I been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
Cuz I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me oh boy, don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come

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's been times that I thought
I wouldn'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

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know, a change is gonna come

Written by - Sam Cooke
