I was born by the river in a little tent
And oh and just like the river
I've [bad word] ever since
It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know a change [bad word]  oh yes it will

It's been too hard livin but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there on the sky
It's been a long, a long [bad word] But I know a change [bad word]  oh yes it will

Now I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long [bad word] But I know a change [bad word] Oh yes it will

So then I go to my brother
And I said brother help me please
But some how he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able, able to carry on
It's been a long, a long [bad word] But I know a change [bad word] 
Yes it will

I KNOW! 
change [bad word] I said I know
change is [bad word] 
Hey!
Hey!
change is [bad word] Right now
Oh oh!
change is gonna
change is [bad word] I see it now
Hey!
I said a change
Is [bad word]
