We Are Family: Songs of Hope and Unity

I was born by the river. In a little tent. And oh just like that river. I've been runnin' ever since. It's been a long a long time comin'. But I know a change gon' come. Oh yes it will. It's been too hard livin'. 'Oh but I'm afraid to die. 'Said I might not be if I knew what was up there. Beyond the sky. It's been a long, a long time comin'. But I know a change gon' come. Oh yes it will. I went I went to my brother. And I said, brother, brother, could you help me please. And he said, but sister, I would like to but I'm not able. So when I turned around, I was right back down on my bended knees. Yes I was. And there was times when I thought, when I thought. I wouldn't last too long. oh, but right now I believe, I believe I can carry on. It's been a long, a long time comin'. But I know a change gon' come. Oh yes it will. I said it's been an uphill battle, uphill journey. But I believe, I believe, I believe. A change is gon' come. I believe. Oh sometime I had to sacrifice what was right, even when I knew it was wrong. A change gon' come. A change gon' come. A change will come. (applause)
