"A Change Is Gonna Come (American Idol Performance)" lyrics - ADAM LAMBERT

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river I've been running
Ever since

[Chorus:]
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is 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

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

I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Everybody keep telling me don't come around

[Chorus:]
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh, ooh, yeah

Back down on my knees
And I know I can carry you

[Chorus:]
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
It's gonna come
