Letra y Significado de Change Is Gonna Come, Sam Cooke


anonimo opina:

Habla sobre la igualdad de derechos civiles.

Esta canción de principios de 1964 fue un punto de partida para Sam Cooke, quien no había abordado previamente el Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles en su música. Pero los tiempos estaban cambiando y se había inspirado tanto en "Blowing in the Wind" de Dylan como en el discurso "I Have a Dream" del Dr. Martin Luther King.

I was born by the river
in a little tent
and just like the river
i've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
but i know a change gonna come
oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living
but i'm afraid to die
i don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
but i know a change gonna come
oh yes it will
Then i go to my brother
i say brother help me please
but he winds up knocking 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, long time coming
but i know a change is gonna come
oh, yes it will
