I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh
And just like the river I been a running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' 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 gon' 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 gon' come
Oh
Yes it will

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
Oh

There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh
Yes it will

Change

Things change. They always do, one of the laws of nature. Most people are afraid of change, but when you look at it, like something you can always count on, then it can be a comfort. And the are not many things you can count on. So, it's high time to make the change, to make change our friend.

BRAZILLLLL!

Very happy new year!

Zippin' up my boots
goin' back to my roots
yeah
To the place of my birth
back down to earth.
I've been standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain
Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements.
I'm homeward bound
got my head turned around.
Zippin' up my boots
goin' back to my roots
yeah
To the place of my birth
back down to earth.
Ain't talkin' 'bout no roots in the land
