"A Change Is Gonna Come"-Sam Cook
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change 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
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna 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 gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
Ohhhhhhhhh.....
There been times that I thought I couldn'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 gonna come, oh yes it will
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Sam Cooke is one of my all time favorite singers. This song is especially true. I also love his version of ''Summertime''...
I can only hope this isn't the change:
One of my all time favorites by Sam:
This one was my mom's favorite by Sam Cook.
I had not really intended this to be Sam Cook tribute column, but I don't really mind it taking it in that direction either.
Heck, why not Wheel. He's one of the best. I'm enjoying the ''tribute''.
